Ranbir Kapoor returns to set, flaunts the 'new normal'

Mumbai : Actor Ranbir Kapoor has resumed work amid the coronavirus pandemic. Ranbir’s hairstylist Ajay Kaloya shared a few pictures with the actor from the set on his Instagram page

In his post, Ajay revealed that he celebrated his birthday following the safety norms. “Celebrating my birthday on set… Never imagined would have to celebrate my birthday with social distancing and wld be wished without any hugs from my family, friends and my colleague. #lockdown #lockdownbirthday #onset,” he wrote.

According to reports, Ranbir was shooting for Ayan Mukerji’s fantasy drama ‘Brahmastra’ when the lockdown was enforced in March this year. The film, which also stars Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy, Nagarjuna Akkineni and Dimple Kapadia, is slated for a December release. 

Apart from Brahmastra, Ranbir also has Karan Malhotra’s ‘Shamshera’, in the pipeline. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor.

In an interview, Vaani said that work on Shamshera was almost finished and the film was unlikely to go the direct-to-digital route and would release in theatres.

“It was pretty much done. I don’t know about Ranbir’s scenes, if his work is left, but it was pretty much finished. I am pretty sure the makers will wait for the lockdown to get over and for things to come back to normal for them to release the film because whatever little that I have been able to watch of the film, I know and everyone else who is a part of it knows that it is a big screen film,” the actress had said.
