Love & War Release Update: After a recent media report stated that the highly anticipated Sanjay Leela Bhansali film Love & War, featuring Ranbir Kapoor,
Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal will not be releasing in 2026, a source close to the movie categorically denied it. After months of speculation and shifting timelines, the report hinted at a 2027 theatrical release. Quashing any talks of postponement whatsoever, the source reinstated that Love & War is very much on track to release this year. Given the scale and the massive cast, Love & War is easily one of the most anticipated movies of 2026.
What Did The Report Say About Love & War Release?
As reported by Pinkvilla earlier in the day, the film's principal photography was expected to wrap around mid-2026, after which the team would begin the extensive post-production process needed for the elaborate aerial action and visual effects. It further suggested that the makers wanted to avoid cramming Love & War too close to Ranbir's other major project, Ramayana: Part One, set for a late 2026 release.
Citing these reasons, the report noted that the makers are planning to shift the film's release to 2027.
Source Denies Report Of Love & War Delay
Shortly after the word about a possible delay spread, a source close to the film denied reports of a 2027 release for Love & War. It said, "The film is very much set to release in 2026. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has just completed shooting a song track and the major sequences for the film have already been shot."
Despite all the chatter around its release, excitement around the film remains high. Fans are eager for the first official visuals or songs to drop, as the movie brings together the stellar trio of Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky for a cinematic experience that, if early indications are correct, will be visually ambitious and narratively rich.
