Actor Ranbir Kapoor celebrated a special milestone on Saturday, February 14, as his lifestyle brand Arks marked its anniversary. To commemorate the occasion, the actor went live on Instagram through the brand’s official handle, engaging directly with fans in an interactive ‘Ask Me Anything’ session and offering exciting updates about his much-anticipated film projects.

During the candid interaction, Ranbir opened up about the release timelines of his next two major films — Ramayana and Love & War. Addressing eager fans, he confirmed that Ramayana will be his next theatrical release, followed by filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, which also stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal.

The romantic period drama Love & War was earlier expected to arrive in theatres in August this year. However, with Ranbir’s latest clarification, it now appears likely that the film may release either towards the end of this year or in early next year. This shift comes as Ramayana: Part 1, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, is slated for a grand Diwali release.

Speaking about the scale of his projects, Ranbir acknowledged that while some actors wrap up films that release within a few months, his movies often take longer due to their ambitious vision and large-scale production. He expressed hope that the time invested in these films would ultimately make the wait worthwhile for audiences.

The actor also dropped intriguing hints about two of his other highly awaited ventures — Animal Park and Brahmastra 2. Ranbir revealed that fans might get to see Brahmastra 2 sooner than expected, while Animal Park is anticipated to begin filming next year, further expanding his impressive slate of upcoming releases.

In addition to sharing updates about his own films, Ranbir spoke warmly about Ranveer Singh’s recent release, Dhurandhar. Praising the film and its team, he said, “It was Dhurandhar. Absolutely loved that film. The entire cast and crew smashed it. Really good times at the movies."

On the professional front, Love & War brings together Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal in a grand period drama under Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s direction. Meanwhile, Ramayana boasts an ensemble cast featuring Sai Pallavi, Yash, Sunny Deol, and others, promising a cinematic spectacle mounted on a monumental scale.
