Alia also revealed that Ranbir had smartly arranged for their guide to capture the special moment. On the work front, the couple will reunite on screen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Love & War', alongside Vicky Kaushal. The film is set to release in theaters on March 20, 2026.
On the other hand, Ranbir Kapoor will be seen next in Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana' . The film will also star Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, and Yash as Ravana. Well, the first part of the film is set to release on Diwali 2026, with the second part following on Diwali 2027.
