Ranbir, Ranveer Race Ahead: Where Does Vicky Stand?

Vicky Kaushal is among the busiest actors in Bollywood at present. After completing work on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, he is preparing for Mahavatar. This Maddock studios project will require nearly 18 months for preparation and shooting.

While having big films is a strong advantage, discussions have started around his long gap. Vicky Kaushal is currently shooting Love & War with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. The film is expected to wrap by June 2026.

After that, he will begin work on Mahavatar, which will take considerable time. This schedule means he may remain occupied with only these two films until 2028. The gap has raised concerns about his screen presence in the coming years.

Fans are reportedly worried about reduced visibility. In the film industry, frequent releases help maintain relevance. Some believe Vicky Kaushal is falling behind actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh in terms of consistent output.

Ranveer Singh’s success with the Dhurandhar series has intensified the competition. This has added more pressure on Vicky Kaushal’s upcoming choices. The comparison among leading actors continues to grow stronger with each new release.

There are also reports that his role in Love & War may be more of a supporting character. In contrast, Ranbir Kapoor is said to have a central role. This has led to questions about the time invested in the project.

Industry observers suggest that Vicky Kaushal could consider smaller films. Quick projects may help him stay visible and showcase range. Such choices could balance his schedule between large scale and mid budget cinema.

For now, Vicky Kaushal appears focused on two major films. This approach carries both opportunity and risk. The next few years will play a key role in shaping his position among Bollywood’s top actors.
