<\/p>\nFilmmaker Mohit Suri has addressed ongoing speculation about a potential collaboration with Ranbir Kapoor, clarifying that the actor is not part of his next project. Rumours had been circulating for over a month suggesting that Suri and Kapoor were teaming up for a gangster-themed film backed by Yash Raj Films. The reports had generated considerable interest, given the director\u2019s track record with intense romantic dramas and Kapoor\u2019s recent choice of diverse roles.<\/p>\n

Mohit Suri clarifies he is not working with Ranbir Kapoor yet: \u201cI wish there was\u201d<\/p>\n
In a conversation with Variety India, Suri put the speculation to rest, stating, \u201cRanbir Kapoor is not in my next film. I genuinely want to work with him and I hope he feels the same way about me. I went to meet him to discuss and intend to work together. Meanwhile, it\u2019s been in news that we are already doing a film together.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further spoke about his equation with Kapoor, noting that the actor has followed his work closely over the years. Suri shared that Kapoor often speaks about Awaarapan, a film that did not perform well at the box office but has since developed a following. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the few actors and such a great star who appreciates a film like Awaarapan even though it flopped when it was released,\u201d Suri said, adding that Kapoor considers it among his best works.<\/p>\n
Highlighting this, Suri pointed out that most actors tend to reference commercially successful projects, whereas Kapoor\u2019s appreciation for a lesser-known film reflects a deeper understanding of cinema. He added that Kapoor\u2019s ability to bring layered performances aligns with the kind of storytelling he gravitates towards.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he has the depth and layered nuances that my kind of films need. But no, there is no Ranbir Kapoor in my film, at the moment. I wish there was,\u201d Suri concluded.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Kapoor remains occupied with multiple projects. He is currently shooting for Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, which is planned as a two-part release with the first installment expected to arrive during Diwali 2026. He is also set to appear in Love & War, helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and co-starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal.<\/p>\n
