Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor made his debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Saawariya’ in 2007. Now, 17 years later, Ranbir is reuniting with the filmmaker for ‘Love and War’ co-starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. At the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa on Sunday, the actor revealed Sanjay Leela Bhansali has not changed over the years.

Ranbir continued, “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.”

The reunion with Sanjay Leela Bhansali is meaningful as it coincides with the 100th birth anniversary of Ranbir’s grandfather, the legendary Raj Kapoor. Ranbir talked about his ongoing efforts to restore the films of Raj Kapoor, alongside NFDC, NFAI, his uncle Kunal Kapoor, and the film Heritage Foundation.
