Ayan Mukerji reveals details about his next with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt
'Dragon' will be the first film in which Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt will star together. Helmed by Ranbir's close friend Ayan Mukerji, the film, as reported by the media, will see RK junior play a superhero. The superhero drama was also said to be a remake of Hollywood superhero comedy 'Deadpool'.

However, clarifying to the media, Ayan refuted the rumours and said, "A lot of people have been saying that it is a superhero film. But it's not. It's in fact, a modern-day romantic fantasy." The director didn't want to reveal much as yet about the film and spoke right on point about his next. He also showed displeasure over the recent Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Karni Sena incident and said that what happened was rather unfortunate.

Ranbir is currently busy shooting with Rajkumar Hirani for Sanjay Dutt's biopic, and will only begin shooting for Ayan's directorial by August. Talking about the same, Ayan further added, "Ranbir won't do this film and Dutt simultaneously. He has already begun shooting for Dutt and it should be done by August. That's when I will start with him and Alia Bhatt."
