No Dhoom, Just War: Ranbir Kapoor Sets the Record Straight on His Next Big Moves

Speculation about Ranbir Kapoor‘s next franchise leap just got shut down. While promoting his epic “Ramayana” at San Diego Comic-Con, the actor confirmed he is not part of “Dhoom 4” — and revealed exactly when fans can expect his romantic war drama, “Love and War,” to hit theaters.

Setting the Record Straight on Dhoom 4

For the past couple of years, rumors have persistently linked Ranbir Kapoor to Yash Raj Films’ next installment in the “Dhoom” franchise, with some reports even claiming extensive talks with producer Aditya Chopra. Speaking with Review Nation at Comic-Con alongside “Ramayana” co-star Yash, Ranbir put the speculation to rest, clarifying that his current focus is entirely on “Ramayana” and his upcoming Sanjay Leela Bhansali film.

Ranbir confirmed that “Love and War,” Bhansali’s romantic war drama also starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, is targeting a January 2027 release, with the date expected to land around January 24. Notably, he made no mention of “Animal Park,” the rumored sequel to his 2023 blockbuster “Animal,” though he has reportedly already begun work on “Ramayana Part 2.”

Why This Clarification Matters
