The actor is now gearing up for films like Brahmastra, Shamshera, Animal, and Luv Ranjan's next with Shraddha Kapoor. Coming to Animal, a report recently stated that Bulbbul fame Tripti Dimri is likely to play this part. A source informed the magazine, "Some big and popular names had auditioned for this role. Sara Ali Khan had also auditioned for the movie but the makers were quite impressed with Tripti's work and audition tape. They thought she would bring that freshness to the character and a young appeal."

In a recent interview, Kapoor remembered his father and talked about how life has been without him. Opening up on dealing with his father's loss in an interview with Rajeev Masand, Ranbir said, "Well, I think there's only been time for that. It's been quite a big year in my life starting with losing a parent which I don't think has seeped in yet. Still in some ways dealing with that. Of course with the pandemic, my mother herself tested positive..so many things happened in this year. But yes, I have had good time to reflect on things.. to reflect on my personal, professional life. Where acting is concerned, of course I miss it. I just hope I haven't forgotten it (smiles) It's been quite sometime since I have been in front of the camera but it's like riding a cycle. Once you're on it.. it just takes some time and then you're at it."
