Ranbir Kapoor has reportedly begun shooting for Ramayana 2 in Mumbai. According to an update shared by Pinkvilla, the actor has started filming his portions for the sequel, and the schedule is expected to continue for the next few months.
The decision comes after a delay in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War. Reports suggest that Sanjay Leela Bhansali faced health issues, which affected the original production timeline of the romantic drama.
Because of the delay, Ranbir Kapoor has adjusted his schedule and started work on Ramayana 2. The production of Love & War is now expected to resume around May 2026.
Sources say Ranbir Kapoor aims to complete a major portion of the sequel during the current schedule. The actor has also adopted a clean shaven look to match the character requirements for the mythological film.
Actor Sunny Deol is expected to join the shoot later this month on March 20. Scenes featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Sunny Deol will reportedly be filmed once the latter begins his schedule.
Industry sources indicate that key sequences involving Ram and Hanuman are planned during this schedule. These scenes are expected to be an important part of the sequel.
Fans of Ranbir Kapoor have expressed excitement on social media after the update. Many believe the ongoing progress ensures that the film will meet its planned release timeline.
Some fans also urged the actor to stay away from controversies until both Ramayana 2 and Love & War release in theatres.
However, a section of fans expressed disappointment that they might not see two Ranbir Kapoor films this year. A few users also criticised the delay surrounding Love & War.
At the same time, discussions have begun about the scale and budget of Ramayana. Some viewers feel it is difficult to judge the film’s potential until the makers reveal clear production details.
Trade experts believe Ranbir Kapoor’s versatility will attract audiences to theatres. However, they emphasised that authenticity will play a key role in the film’s success.
The discussion also brings back memories of the criticism faced by Adipurush, which struggled to impress audiences with its adaptation of mythology.
With filming underway and anticipation growing, fans are now waiting to see whether Ranbir Kapoor will set new box office records with Ramayana 2.
