In another video, Ranbir is seen carrying the Ganesh idol in his hands and chanting, ‘Ganpati bappa moraya!’ Neetu motions the others to clear the way and walks beside him.

Reacting to the video, many fans commented, “Ganpati bappa moraya!” Some wondered why Ranbir's wife, actor Alia Bhatt, was not present with him. Ranbir and Alia have been busy shooting their upcoming film Love and War for the last few months, which is being directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film also stars Vicky Kaushal and will be released next year on March 20. It is Ranbir's second film with Bhansali after Sawaariya, which marked his directorial debut in Bollywood.
