Ahead of Ramayana, Ranbir Kapoor says it’s his ‘bad luck’ his films take years to make; calls Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar ‘his favourite’

Laughing, Ranbir responded, “It’s my bad luck. Usually when people start a movie, it gets completed in four to six months. But my films somehow take longer. I just hope that when the film releases, you forget how long it took. I can assure you I have been working very hard for the last three years.”

He also revealed his current favourite film and song. Praising Ranveer Singh’s latest blockbuster Dhurandhar, Ranbir said, “My current favourite movie is Dhurandhar. I absolutely loved it. I think the entire cast and crew really smashed it. It was a really good time at the movies.”

As for music, he added, “I am still listening to all the tracks from Dhurandhar. They are right up there. And I have also been listening to Talwinder.”

When asked whether a sequel to Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani was on the cards, Ranbir offered a thoughtful response. “There are multiple stories you can tell. But Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani had a good ending, so I don’t think it needs a part two. However, if a similar story in the same genre comes along, then sure.”

In another heartwarming moment, Ranbir shared his excitement about his much-anticipated film Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. He revealed that the film is scheduled to release around his daughter Raha’s birthday, calling it a “beautiful coincidence.”

Set for a Diwali release this year, Ramayana also stars Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Arun Govil and Lara Dutta, among others. A second instalment is slated for release on Diwali next year. The actor will also be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War, also starring  Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal Park. Love and War has undergone some delays and will come out in 2027.
