Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt And Vicky Kaushal’s Film To Avoid Clash With Yash’s Toxic
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is currently working on his next film, Love and War. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in the lead, the film was slated to hit theatres on Eid 2026. However, if a recent report by Bollywood Hungama is to be believed, Love and War is ‘running behind’, due to which its release is likely to get delayed. Reportedly, Bhansali has asked the lead actors to block dates until summer 2026 to complete the project. “The film is running approximately. 40 days behind schedule, and the earliest it can now be released is in the month of June 2026. Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Leela Bhansali will take a call on the film’s release soon and officially announce the delay in its release,” an insider told the entertainment portal.
Love And War Shoot In Italy Soon
It was also reported that Bhansali has wrapped up the Mumbai shoot schedule and is likely to head to Italy soon. Reportedly, the final 20-day schedule of the film, with key scenes for the climax, will be shot during this schedule. “Sanjay Leela Bhansali recreated 1970s Italy right here in Mumbai for Love & War. Around ten days of filming were completed before Diwali, and the final 20-day schedule, featuring the film’s grand climax, is expected to take place by December 2025 in Italy. The team is eyeing an Eid 2026 release,” a source cited by Filmfare said.
Ranbir Kapoor Opens Up On Love And War
Earlier this year, Ranbir Kapoor also 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.”
