For Bhansali's period romance, Ranbir sported a distinct moustached look, paired with slightly longer hair. It was a style that had fans curious and eager, as behind-the-scenes glimpses from the set went viral on social media. However, just a few days ago, the actor surprised everyone by shaving off his moustache and chopping his hair short. While initial speculation suggested this transformation might be for a younger version of his character in Love & War, it turns out the makeover was for Ramayan.
According to industry sources, Ranbir has dived back into the world of Ramayan and has been filming crucial sequences at Filmcity. The production, mounted on a massive scale, aims to reimagine the iconic mythological tale for a new generation, with Ranbir essaying the revered role of Lord Ram. The actor had reportedly taken a brief break from the Ramayan sets to wrap up portions of Love & War, and his return marks a significant phase in the film's shoot schedule.
Fans of Kapoor are eagerly awaiting his dual avatars — the intense romantic lead in Love & War, and the divine, disciplined figure of Lord Ram in Ramayan. With both films carrying massive expectations, it's an exciting time for Ranbir Kapoor's career, as he seamlessly switches between two distinct cinematic worlds.
Once he completes both the film, Ranbir is all set to start work on Dhoom 4 where his best friend Ayan Mukerji has roped in as a director. Their last film Brahmastra: Part One -Shiva has currently been put on hold because of financial constraints.

‘Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi and NTR became stars with Bollywood remakes': RGV on South films' glory
Ram Gopal Varma recently commented on superstars Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, Sr NTR and their popularity. The filmmaker highlighted that the South stars enjoy the glory they have today because of the remakes of Bollywood ventures back in the day. In an interview with India TV, RGV said, 'In the beginning, all four South Indian movie industries remade Amitabh from the 70s and 80s. Stars like Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, N T Ramarao and Rajkumar gained fame by acting in such remakes.' Continuing his remarks about films during the career gap Big B took during the 1990s, the filmmaker revealed that many music companies were producing movies to promote their soundtracks. RGV concluded his words with a comparison between young Bollywood filmmakers during the 1990s. The director revealed how many of them were interested and would easily connect with international films due to their English proficiency. However, on the other hand, South Indian cinema producers in the 1990s did not have the same interest in global cinema and mostly focused on making films that had a story with mass appeal. Recently, RGV made the headlines for an entirely different reason after his appearance with Anurag Kashyap in a podcast interview. During their conversation, the filmmakers were commenting on the extensive use of VFX and high production costs. With Kashyap detailing about the same, the Shiva director commented by taking his own film's example and said, 'I never consciously thought of making Satya at low cost. I was spending what was required, and it created authenticity and realism. If I had spent Rs. 5 crores more, Satya's quality would have been five times less.' Coming to RGV's work front, the filmmaker was last seen helming the project Saaree, a psychological thriller which received panned reviews from the audience and critics. Moreover, the filmmaker had made a cameo appearance in the film Kalki 2898 AD, starring alongside Prabhas. The movie directed by Nag Ashwin was an epic sci-fi film, taking its origins from the mythology of the Mahabharata. Apart from Prabhas, the movie had actors like Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and more in pivotal roles.
