Ranbir Kapoor Returns to Alike 'Animal' Role Next

In Sanjay Leela Bhansali's usual storytelling style, most of his movies feature triangular narratives. Notably, one character in the triangle tends to be obsessive, as seen in Mastani from "Bajirao Mastani" and Alauddin Khalji from "Padmaavat." However, in his upcoming romantic drama set against a war backdrop titled "Love and War," Bhansali has finalized Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal as the lead actors. The intriguing twist lies in Bhansali's choice of the obsessive character in this narrative.

Rumours are that he presented Ranbir Kapoor with the role of an obsessive character in the love triangle, a grey-shaded role that Ranbir accepted. Having previously portrayed an obsessive son and lover in the movie 'Animal,' Ranbir received mixed reviews from fans who appreciated it but faced criticism from some critics. Now, the question arises: Will the audience embrace him in a role reminiscent of 'Animal,' or will this new character bring a fresh and distinct dimension? Only time will tell.

Set to hit theatres on Christmas 2025, Ranbir Kapoor is currently immersed in preparations for his upcoming movie mythological movie 'Ramayanam.'
