Mumbai, Feb 19 (.) Actor Ranbir Kapoor is reportedly in advanced negotiations with filmmaker Mohit Suri and Yash Raj Films for an ambitious musical romance set against the gritty backdrop of gangsters and hired assassins.
Sources indicate that Suri has long wanted to collaborate with Ranbir and has already conducted multiple meetings with him regarding the project.
“The success of Saiyaara and the support of Aditya Chopra have now given him the opportunity to cast Ranbir. Ranbir is also excited to collaborate with Mohit, but has not committed to the film yet. He is still sorting his calendar, as both Love and War and Ramayana are delayed,” a source told Bollywood Hungama.
The source also informed that Ranbir has really liked the script and has informed Mohit of the tremendous theatrical potential it holds. “It has a big scope for music too, and if Ranbir does it, it could be one of the last love stories of his career. He will take a final call towards the middle of 2026. Mohit and Adi are meanwhile starting pre-production for the film. Even if Ranbir rejects, they want to be prepared to start the film by the end of 2026, irrespective of the actors who come on board.” . . .
