Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor reportedly met Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Thursday to discuss their upcoming movie, Love and War. In a video that surfaced on social media, the Bollywood couple was seen leaving
Bhansali’s office when they were snapped by the paparazzi. The two actors maintained silence and did not respond when shutterbugs tried to ask them about reports concerning Love and War’s release delay.
Along with Ranbir and Alia, choreographer Ganesh Acharya too was spotted, which made everyone wonder if this meeting was for an upcoming grand song sequence in the film.
Ranbir and Alia’s visit to the director’s office also suggests that key creative discussions are underway as the film gears up for its next phase. While details remain under wraps, industry chatter points towards something special being planned, possibly a high-energy or emotionally rich song that could become a defining moment for the film.

Love And War Delayed?
Just a few days back, it was reported that while Bhansali had planned for Love and War to release on Eid 2026, the film’s shoot has now been extended to May 2026. With this, the movie is likely to be released either in August or September. This means that Love and War and Ramayana will not have a gap of six months, since the latter is scheduled for a Diwali release this year.
Last year, 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.”
Love and War will also star Vicky Kaushal in the lead.
