Ranbir Kapoor rules out Dhoom 4, confirms work on Ramayana and Love & War
Indian actor Ranbir Kapoor publicly rejected rumours that he would appear in the yet‑unannounced Dhoom 4 franchise. While promoting the epic film Ramayana at a San Diego Comic‑Con event, he said his only forthcoming projects are Ramayana, in which he plays Lord Ram, and the period drama Love & War, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The latter is scheduled for release in late January 2027 (announced for 21 January, with some reports citing 24 January). Kapoor also mentioned a sequel to his 2023 hit Animal, tentatively titled Animal Park, but gave no details. The clarification ends years of speculation fueled by leaked photos and media reports linking him to the Dhoom series.
