Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor and Ajay Devgn are preparing to work together again after 15 years, according to recent reports. The pair previously appeared together in Prakash Jha’s political drama Rajneeti, but have not collaborated on a film since then until now.
The upcoming project is described as a hard-hitting action drama thriller. It will be directed by Love Ranjan, the filmmaker behind Pyaar Ka Punchnama. According to reports, the two actors will join this project after completing their current ongoing commitments.
Long-gap reunion gains momentum
Talks about Ranbir Kapoor and Ajay Devgn working together first surfaced around 2018–2019. Love Ranjan confirmed these discussions in an interview with IANS at that time. Later, trade analyst Tarun Adarsh announced on social media that the film had been shelved.
However, in 2025, new information emerged indicating that the project had been revived. Despite this, on-ground work did not begin immediately. Current reports suggest that the project is now moving forward on a positive note, with both actors expected to participate after finishing their running films.
Plot centers on cousins turned enemies
Recent reports have revealed the film’s plot. The story will revolve around two cousins who develop misunderstandings that drive them apart. As bitterness grows in their relationship, the cousins eventually turn into enemies.
This narrative structure has drawn comparisons to Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal. In Animal, a similar conflict unfolds between Anil Kapoor’s character Balbir Singh and his uncle’s family, leading to mutual harm and intense rivalry. While similarities exist, filmmakers have not yet made any official announcement. Changes to the plot remain possible before the project is confirmed.
Ranbir Kapoor’s current workload
Ranbir Kapoor is currently busy with several major projects. He is working on Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana 2, which is scheduled for Diwali this year. After that, he is waiting for Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit to be completed. He is also set to work on Animal Park.
Ajay Devgn, on the other hand, is working on big films including Golmaal 5. Despite both actors having packed schedules, sources indicate they are prioritising this joint project once their current commitments conclude.
Ajay Devgn’s genre shift adds surprise factor
Ajay Devgn has not typically been seen in this particular genre of intense family-driven action drama. His appearance alongside Ranbir Kapoor in such a film comes as a surprise to many fans. The chemistry between the two actors, combined with the high-stakes plot, has generated significant discussion across Bollywood circles.
Neither production house nor filmmakers have officially announced the project yet. Until an official statement is released, details remain based on reports and industry sources. Fans are now waiting to see when the collaboration will be formally confirmed and when shooting will begin.
The possibility of Ranbir Kapoor and Ajay Devgn reuniting after 15 years marks a significant moment in Bollywood. Their previous collaboration in Rajneeti was well-received, and this new action thriller is expected to draw strong audience interest once details are finalised.
