“Love & War, is a film directed by Mr Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It stars one of my two favourite actors, Vicky Kaushal and of course, my super talented wife, Alia Bhatt. It is directed by the man who taught me everything about cinema, whatever I know about acting, was seeded in by. He was a master then and I’m working with him 18 years later, and he’s even bigger master today. So I’m very happy with that collaboration,” Ranbir said.

When Ranbir Kapoor Said ‘It’s Amazing’ Working With SLB

Earlier this year too, Ranbir Kapoor

talked about the project during a meet and greet event in Mumbai when he said, “Love and War is something which is every actor’s dream. To work with brilliant actors like Alia and Vicky and to be directed by the master – Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I worked with him 17 years ago. To work with him again, I can say this with so much of clarity that I haven’t met a human being who works so hard, who understands characters, emotions, music, Indian culture, Indian value system, as much as Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Just to be on his set, it is tiring. It is long. The process can be a little daunting but eventually, as an artist, it is so satisfying. He really nurtures art. As actors, it’s truly been amazing so far.”

I am like, ‘wow, what’s that going to be like?” Talking about reuniting with Vicky Kaushal, Alia continued by saying, “Vicky and I coming together again; Ranbir and Vicky created magic with Sanju. So, it is a lot of combinations.”

Love and War is scheduled for release on March 20, 2026.
