The excitement is building as sanjay leela bhansali prepares to bring alia bhatt, ranbir kapoor, and vicky kaushal together in his upcoming film love And War. Fans have eagerly awaited updates since the film's announcement earlier this year, and the makers have now confirmed its release date: march 20, 2026.
The film’s release will coincide with significant festivals such as Ramzan, ram Navami, and Gudi Padwa, positioning it to benefit from the holiday season. This film marks several notable reunions: alia bhatt returns to work with Bhansali after Gangubai Kathiawadi, while ranbir kapoor teams up with the director for the first time since Saawariya. Additionally, this will be Alia's second film with Ranbir, following Brahmastra. vicky kaushal, who previously collaborated with alia in Raazi and with Ranbir in Sanju, also stars in the film.
In a recent conversation with News18 Showsha, alia bhatt shared her enthusiasm for the project. “There are so many layers to look forward to, that I don’t know which one to pick. First and foremost, the pleasure and honor of working with Sanjay sir once again, under his guidance and gaze, is step number one. You can go anywhere with it because of his attention to detail and his attention to you,” she said.
Alia also expressed her excitement as an audience member to see ranbir kapoor collaborate with Bhansali again. “I, as an audience, am more excited to see him [Bhansali] and Ranbir collaborate, again, after so many years. I am like, ‘Wow, what’s that going to be like?’” Regarding her reunion with vicky kaushal, she added, “Vicky and I coming together again; Ranbir and Vicky created magic with Sanju. So, it is a lot of combinations.”
The shoot for love And war is scheduled to begin with ranbir kapoor in the first week of october, with vicky kaushal joining around october 10. “Sanjay Leela Bhansali begins his journey on love And war by shooting for some solo sequences featuring ranbir kapoor and then moves on to the friendship portions of rk and Vicky. He has planned and designed the schedule keeping the dates of his star cast in mind,” a source told Pinkvilla.
The source also noted, “Alia has allotted bulk dates to YRF for the female spy universe film, Alpha. She will start love And war after wrapping up Alpha by the end of november or early December.”
While we await love And war, alia bhatt is preparing for the release of Jigra, vicky kaushal is promoting Chhaava, set to release later this year, and ranbir kapoor is filming Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana.
