Get ready, Bollywood fans! The buzz is real as Sanjay Leela Bhansali gears up to start filming his much-anticipated film Love and War on October 24. Starring the dynamic trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, this movie is already shaping up to be a blockbuster!
Sources close to the production have confirmed that the excitement is building. “The movie will finally go on floors from October 24, marking the start of the first shooting schedule,” one insider shared. With Bhansali at the helm, known for his stunning visuals and rich storytelling, this project will surely be a treat for the eyes.
What’s even more intriguing is that Bhansali is taking an independent route with this film. He’s self-financing Love and War, similar to the strategies employed by big studios. This approach has already landed him a whopping Rs 130 crore deal with Netflix for streaming rights and a Rs 35 crore music partnership with Saregama. Talk about making waves before the cameras even roll!
The film will be released theatrically on March 20, 2026, strategically planned around major festivals, which should really boost its box office appeal. Initially, it was scheduled for Christmas 2025, but the new date promises a larger audience.
This will be Bhansali’s first collaboration with Vicky Kaushal, which has fans buzzing with excitement. He’s previously worked with Alia in Gangubai Kathiawadi and Ranbir in Saawariya, making this a reunion of sorts for some of Bollywood’s biggest stars.
As the countdown to filming begins, anticipation is building for Love and War. With Bhansali’s unique vision and this star-studded cast, we can’t wait to see what magic unfolds. Stay tuned for updates—this is one film you won’t want to miss!
