Love & War Release on Track for 2026, Makers Dismiss 2027 Delay Claims
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film Love & War, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, remains on track for a 2026 release. Recently, reports claimed that the film could be delayed until 2027 due to filming and post-production issues. However, sources close to the project have firmly denied these claims. Instead, the makers continue to follow the original production timeline without major disruptions.
Filming Progress and Official Response
According to insiders, the film’s production has progressed steadily over the past few months. Moreover, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has already completed shooting a major song sequence. In addition, the team has wrapped most of the large-scale scenes. Although some portions still require post-production work, the makers had planned this phase in advance. Therefore, industry sources have ruled out any delay beyond 2026.
Love & War: Cast, Setting, and Vision
Love & War was officially announced in January 2024. Since then, the film has generated strong buzz due to its powerful cast. Notably, the film reunites Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, while Vicky Kaushal plays a crucial role. Furthermore, the story reportedly unfolds in a 1960s setting. Meanwhile, leaked set images suggest a visually grand narrative, which reflects Bhansali’s signature style. However, the makers continue to keep the plot under wraps.
What’s Next for Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky
Meanwhile, the lead actors have packed schedules ahead. Alia Bhatt will next appear in Alpha, a film from the YRF Spy Universe, alongside Sharvari and Bobby Deol. Similarly, Ranbir Kapoor will portray Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part One, slated for a Diwali release. Additionally, the film stars Yash, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, and Ravie Dubey. For now, Love & War remains Vicky Kaushal’s only confirmed release, making it even more significant for his lineup.
