Ranbir will play a superhero in the yet-untitled project, making him the next actor after Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan to essay character with superpowers on celluloid.
"It is not like 'Krrish 3', it is something very different, it is going to be a fantasy film. It is going to be a trilogy which Ayan has just started writing. We share a great personal and professional relation," Ranbir told PTI.
"Till now we are in developing stage, he is going abroad for a post production course. Hopefully, we will try and make something path-breaking," he said.
Ranbir is also looking to explore himself by playing different roles in films.
"My next film is titled 'Bombay Velvet'. I am playing a boxer in the film. Then I am working on Imtiaz Ali's film and Ayan Mukherjee's superhero film. I will start this film by end of next year. I am trying to do different characters, like in 'Besharam' I played a vulgar, road type tapori character," Ranbir said.
He also expressed his desire to do an action movie, which is the current flavour of Bollywood.
