Ranbir Kapoor opened up about reuniting with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his upcoming film Love & War at the International Film Festival of Goa (IFFI) 2024 and said that the director hasn’t changed at all. The actor said that he has learnt everything about films and acting from Bhansali, with whom Ranbir made his Bollywood debut in 2007 with Saawariya.

In a conversation with filmmaker Rahul Rawail at the festival, Ranbir said that he is excited to collaborate with Bhansali again. “He is my godfather. Everything I know about films, everything I know about acting, it is something I learnt from him.”

Ranbir added, “He hasn’t changed at all. He is extremely hard-working. All he thinks about is his movies. He just wants to speak about the character, he wants you to create, do something different.”

In some public interviews earlier, Ranbir had recounted his experience of working with the director in Saawariya and revealed how he would get scolded by Bhansali on set if he was not satisfied with his performance.

Love & War also stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal and is set to be released in March 2026.
