Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Ramayana: Part 1 and Part 2 are undoubtedly two of the most anticipated movies awaited by audiences. However, it now appears that the Tamasha actor might have to allot the dates initially meant for Ramayana to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War.
Ranbir Kapoor to allot his Ramayana dates to Love & War?
According to a report by Deccan Chronicle, Ranbir Kapoor had originally planned to wrap up the shoot for Ramayana first and then move on to complete his remaining portions for Love & War. However, as the Ramayana shoot is taking longer than expected, the actor is now likely to prioritize the SLB film and allocate his dates accordingly.
A source reportedly told the news portal that Ranbir had initially intended to complete both parts of Ramayana before starting work on Bhansali’s Love & War. However, since the latter is showing no signs of progressing, he has no choice but to give Bhansali all the dates that were originally meant for Ramayana Part 2. The source added that this could prevent Part 2 from releasing in theatres as planned at the end of 2027.
