A source told Bollywood Hungama, ‘Love And War shoot began on time, but there has been a delay form Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s end. The film was to conclude by November 2025, but as per the newest chalked schedule, SLB is looking to finish the film by February 2026. The new release date of Love And War will be by mid-2026.
’ The source added, ‘Sanjay Leela Bhansali is self-funding the film and was reworking on the budget to ensure that he meets the deadlines. It’s a period film and needs right costing to make things work. SLB has now procured required funds and is restarting the shoot sans a delay of 2 months.
’ The anticipation builds for Sanjay Leela Bhansalis next Love & War . It’s thrilling to look forward to the monumental collaboration of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the talented trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal on the big screen in the film. With his recent film Chhaava , Vicky Kaushal has delivered a blockbuster and his next is one of the most awaited films of next year, Love And War .
The film already seemed exciting due to the association of these stalwarts. Does the boost in Vicky Kaushal’s star power post-Chhaava further enhance the hype of this film? Trade experts are confident that Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt-Vicky Kaushal’s Love And War is now a much bigger film after the blockbuster success of Chhava. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh began by saying, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali and S S Rajamouli are the best filmmakers that we have today.
Hence, Love And War will be huge.” He then stated, “The acceptability is there (for Vicky Kaushal) and you need that mass support which this film has given him. For instance, Ranbir Kapoor is also a fantastic actor but a film like Rockstar (2011) would not give him that reach like Animal would.
