Love & War delays shoot, expected to release after May 2026

As per new reports by leading news portal Bollywood Hungama, "Ranbir, Alia and Vicky have blocked their calendars till May 2026 now. All their prior commitments stand delayed due to the increase in shoot days for Love And War. There's no way for Love & War to release in June. Bhansali is now making an attempt to bring it on the big screen in August or September 2026. A date will be decided shortly. This has left some of the members of the Ramayana team disappointed, as they were hoping for a gap of at least 6 months between Love & War and Ramayana. The delay in shoots has also resulted in an increase of budgets for Love & War."

First glimpse from the film to be out next month

Last week, on December 24, a source had told Mid-day that the makers will put up the first look from the film in January 2026, "It could be an official poster or images from the set, which Bhansali has meticulously created. The audience has already seen the actors’ avatars through leaked pictures. But now, the director wants people to see his vision of Love and War." Meanwhile, Ranbir will reunite with Alia after Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra. Love & War marks the reunion of Kapoor with Vicky Kaushal after Sanju (2018).
