Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s most-anticipated film Love and War, starring Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal, finally gets a new release date. The film, which was earlier scheduled to hit the screens on Christmas 2025, will now hit the theatres on March 20, 2026. Fans of Bhansali’s grand filmmaking style and the star-studded cast will have to wait a bit longer for this epic film.
A Collaboration of Stars
LovenWar is a first in many exciting ways because Bhansali teams up with Vicky Kaushal for the very first time. Bhansali, of course, has worked earlier with Alia Bhatt in the critically acclaimed Gangubai Kathiawadi and with Ranbir Kapoor in his directorial debut of Saawariya. This movie also reunites Vicky and Ranbir since their brilliant performances in the 2018 biopic Sanju; it is also the second time Vicky will be sharing the screen with Alia Bhatt after his brilliant Raazi.
The Announcement and Hype
The movie was announced in January 2024, and fans have been excited ever since. Lead actor Vicky Kaushal expressed his joy on social media, saying, “A lifelong cinema dream has come true,” which shows how much this project means to everyone involved.
A Special Project for Ranbir and Alia
Love and War holds a special place for Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt fans since they share a fairytale romance. The couple, who married in April 2022 after being in a relationship for over five years, welcomed their first child, a baby girl on November 6, 2022.
Their love story had begun on the Brahmastra sets, where the two were co-stars, and now they’re going to share screen space again in Bhansali’s film, which makes this one even more awaited.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Previous Work
Before Love and War, Bhansali had created ripples with his Netflix series Heeramandi. This period drama, set against the freedom struggle in India, is a peek into the world of courtesans. The series stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, and others in this epic saga of love, power, and revenge. Given that Heeramandi showcases Bhansali’s unparalleled ability to merge history and emotion, expectations are naturally sky-high for Love and War.
Bhansali’s films are famous for their grand sets and memorable music, and “Love and War” is no exception. It’s shaping into a cinematic experience that will stay with audiences long after seeing it.
In summary, Love and War are all geared up to be yet another masterpiece by Bhansali with the release date on 20th March 2026. If it’s not the dynamic performances of Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal that interest you, then surely it must be the visuals for which Bhansali is renowned. This is one film you won’t want to miss!
