Ranbir Kapoor recently became an overnight sensation as he transformed into a drama king in the film 'Love & War'. A clip of him from a crew member's birthday party has gone viral across social media as his fans spotted the bulgy new shape, with many comparing him with Sanjay Dutt whom he portrayed in the 2018 biopic 'Sanju'. This
physical transformation
has stirred a flurry of reactions from fans who joke that Ranbir now looks more like Sanju Baba than Dutt himself.
In 'Sanju', Ranbir was able to enact numerous phases of Sanjay Dutt's life and showcased his incredible transformation abilities. Six years later, it seems Ranbir once again slipped into a similar phase, as his fans commented how he is "morphing into Sanju" once again. Many commented how this bulking up reminded them of Dutt's look, especially when he was younger, even while his Bollywood stardom was on the rise.
It has raised the question in the minds of the audience whether this new avatar is for 'Love & War', a historical drama directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Besides Alia Bhatt, the film will also feature Vicky Kaushal with whom Ranbir shares a very good on-screen history through 'Sanju'. It is well-known that his character may call for more bulky body mass in 'Love & War,' hence speculation about his commitment to this role is rife. The video is from the sets of 'Love & War', where Ranbir is seen celebrating his spot boy, Inder's birthday. In the video, Ranbir can be seen having a conversation with his team as he rushes to his work after the cake-cutting ceremony.
While fans keep comparing him with Sanjay Dutt, many are complimenting Ranbir for this fit and toned new look. In fact, some even confessed that they couldn't recognize him first and made the mistake of judging him to be none other than Dutt himself.
All the hype about his looks only means more hype for 'Love & War', a film slated to release in 2026.
