Allu Arjun‘s Pushpa 2: The Rule became the highest-grossing Indian film of 2024, surpassing Stree 2 and Kalki 2898 AD. Fans are now speculating that Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming films could soon break this record.
On a Reddit thread, many users believe Ranbir’s upcoming films like Ramayana: Part 1, Ramayana: Part 2, and Animal Park could surpass Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2. One user wrote, ‘Animal Park (there is insane hype for this that surprisingly hasn’t died yet, it’s been more than a year since release). War 2 (If and only if the story is actually good, there is no shortage of starpower so a good product can definitely earn A LOT). Ramayana Part 2 (If part 1 is good and accepted by the audience, sky is the limit for part 2),” whereas another netizen wrote, “Animal park and Ramayan ( something which will bring all the family together to the theaters)’
Another one added, ‘Ramayan part 2 can possibly. If they succeed with the first part and it does well, the audience will have gotten over the initial hesitation with the adaptation and will be more likely engage with the second film unabashedly. With Ramayan one people will engage a little slower, some waiting for the initial reviews so that they don’t spend money on something disappointing.’
Some users are also supporting King, Shah Rukh Khan’s highly anticipated film with Suhana Khan, hoping it could break records as well.
In Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1, Ranbir Kapoor will play Lord Rama, with Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. This two-part film is inspired by the Hindu epic. Meanwhile, in Animal Park, the sequel to Animal (2023), Ranbir will reprise his roles as Ranvijay Singh Balbir and Aziz Haque.
