Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film Love & War, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, has seen its shooting schedule extended until May 2026. The production budget has increased as a result. The movie is now targeting an August or September 2026 release.
The ambitious project Love & War, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali under SLB Films, features a powerhouse cast including Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. Originally planned for an earlier timeline, the film's shooting has been prolonged to accommodate detailed production needs, wrapping up by May 2026.
This extension comes alongside a rise in the budget, reflecting the scale of Bhansali's vision for the romantic drama. Industry reports indicate that the team is now aiming for a release window in August or September 2026, allowing sufficient post-production time.
Bhansali, known for his opulent storytelling in films like Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani, brings his signature style to this ensemble starrer. The delay underscores the commitment to quality amid Bollywood's competitive landscape.
No official statements from the cast or crew have been detailed beyond these updates, but the project continues to generate buzz among fans.
