Remember, on December 13, PeepingMoon.com told you that Ranbir Kapoor had no plans to celebrate the New Year? And that the actor, who has been single since Katrina Kaif and he split in January 2016, had no intention of bringing in 2018 with a bang? Well, we stand by that story because PeepingMoon.com sources have now confirmed that the actor will be working on New Year. Where he is going to be working, too, we can tell you. Ranbir is going to be in Israel. Not with some secret crush taking in Israel’s attractions that include beautiful beaches, fascinating history and stunning nature, but with his buddy and Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani and Wake up Sid director Ayan Mukerji.

So, what are Ranbir and Ayan going to be up to in Israel while the rest of Bollywood is boisterously ushering in the New Year? It will be a busman’s holiday for them. We understand that the actor and director, who are coming together again in 2018 with Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt and Mouni Roy for Karan Johar’s Brahmastra, are going to be working on the mythological film set in modern day India. ‘Brahmastra’ is a weapon of the Hindu God Brahma, who is also known as the Creator of the Universe, and is therefore considered quite powerful. Talking about the film, Ayan had said ‘Brahmastra’ refers to the ancient wisdom, energies and power that come from ancient India though the film is set in the 21^st century.

According to PeepingMoon.com sources, Ranbir is going to Israel to undergo an exhaustive physical training session for his role and Ayan is going to keep him company and help Ranbir with his preparations. The actor who’s not had a hit in some time and finds his stock at the box office not at his usual all-time high is said to be taking his career very seriously. After the disastrous Jagga Jasoos earlier this year, Ranbir decided to focus on work and not be distracted by parties and celebrations around the New Year. He’s said to have wound up Raju Hirani’s biopic on Sanjay Dutt and has time on his hands. But Ranbir Kapoor seems to have already made his New Year resolution. To work hard and party later. We approve!
