Ranbir Kapoor was involved in a brief tense exchange with a photographer outside a Mumbai restaurant on Saturday night while leaving a dinner with the team of his upcoming film Love & War.
The actor had been dining with his wife and co-star Alia Bhatt, actor Vicky Kaushal and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The group posed for photographers outside the venue before heading towards their cars.
Footage circulating online shows the atmosphere changing as the group began leaving. When a photographer continued calling out for additional poses, Ranbir turned back and appeared to address him.
“Bahut bol raha hai tu,” Ranbir was heard saying, which translates roughly to, “You are talking a lot.”
The actor then continued towards his vehicle with Alia.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Exchange With Photographer
The incident took place after the Love & War team had already completed a photo session outside the restaurant.
In the videos, Ranbir, Alia, Vicky and Bhansali can be seen posing together for the waiting photographers. The interaction initially appeared cordial, with the group spending time together for pictures.
As they finished and began walking towards their respective vehicles, photographers continued requesting additional poses.
Ranbir, who was accompanying Alia towards their car, turned back towards one of the photographers and made the brief remark.
The exchange lasted only a few moments before the actor continued walking.
The video has since attracted attention online, with viewers focusing on the actor’s reaction during the departure.
Ranbir, Alia, Vicky and Bhansali Pose Together
Before the tense moment, the evening featured several relaxed interactions between the four members of the Love & War team.
Ranbir was seen encouraging Sanjay Leela Bhansali to stay in the frame during the group photographs. He also posed closely with Alia while Vicky stood alongside them.
The appearance came at a busy time for the cast members, who have been balancing several professional commitments.
For fans following Love & War, the dinner outing also provided another public appearance by its three lead actors alongside Bhansali.
A Busy Saturday for Ranbir Kapoor
The dinner came after an eventful day for Ranbir.
Earlier on Saturday, the actor attended a promotional event connected to Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana in Mumbai. International content creator MrBeast was also associated with the event.
The promotional gathering attracted attention after it was reportedly delayed for several hours, with some members of the media leaving the venue.
Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal had their own professional commitments during the day, including a ramp appearance for designer Manish Malhotra.
The dinner later brought the Love & War collaborators together in Mumbai.
What We Know About Love & War
Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Love & War is being developed as a period romantic war drama starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal.
The film is currently scheduled to release theatrically on January 21, 2027.
Bhansali and Ila Bedi Dutta are credited with writing the project. While detailed story information remains limited, reports have described the film as involving a romantic triangle set against a wartime backdrop.
There have also been reports that Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal could portray Indian Air Force officers, although specific character and plot details should be treated as reported until officially confirmed.
Supriya Pathak is also part of the film’s cast in a significant role.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Other Major Project: Ramayana
Alongside Love & War, Ranbir is preparing for the release of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1.
The large-scale adaptation features Ranbir as Lord Ram, with Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. The ensemble also includes names such as Sunny Deol, Lara Dutta and Rakul Preet Singh.
The film is planned as a two-part project, with the second instalment expected to follow in 2027.
The promotional campaign for Ramayana has already begun, with recent media activity in Mumbai bringing attention to the project’s cast and production team.
Love & War Continues to Build Buzz
With Love & War still in development ahead of its planned 2027 theatrical release, public appearances involving Ranbir, Alia and Vicky are naturally attracting attention.
The latest dinner outing offered fans another glimpse of the trio together with Bhansali, although the brief exchange between Ranbir and a photographer ultimately became one of the most discussed moments from the evening.
The available footage captures only a short interaction, and it does not establish what led to the photographer’s repeated requests or provide further context beyond the exchange itself.
