Indian actor Ranbir Kapoor has clarified his upcoming film schedule, rejecting rumors of involvement in the ‘Dhoom 4’ franchise. During a San Diego Comic-Con event, Kapoor confirmed his focus remains on the epic film ‘Ramayana’ and the Sanjay Leela Bhansali period drama ‘Love & War’, the latter of which is slated for release in late January 2027.

Following his work on ‘Ramayana’, Kapoor is expected to begin filming the sequel to ‘Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva’ in April 2027. Reports indicate he may take on a dual role as Dev and Shiva in ‘Brahmastra 2’. Other cast members, such as Alia Bhatt, are expected to return, while discussions regarding casting Deepika Padukone in a role requiring ‘immense gravitas’ are reportedly underway.
