Mohit Suri Eyes Ranbir Kapoor for New Musical Crime Saga

Mohit Suri is gearing up to direct a new film, an epic love story interwoven with themes of gangsters and assassins, featuring a strong musical element. The film is anticipated to commence shooting by the end of 2026, with producer Aditya Chopra's full support, aiming to replicate the success of their previous collaboration, 'Saiyaara'.

Ranbir Kapoor has been approached by Suri for the lead role, and discussions are ongoing. While Kapoor has expressed interest and recognized the script's significant theatrical potential and musical scope, he has not yet formally committed to the project. His decision is expected by mid-2026, contingent on his availability given other ongoing film commitments.

Pre-production for the film is set to begin as Suri and Chopra prepare to move forward regardless of Kapoor's final decision. They aim to be ready to start production by the end of 2026 with a finalized cast.
