Celebrated filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is currently immersed in bringing his most ambitious project to life—Love & War. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, this epic saga of love and conflict is set against the backdrop of war, where two powerful men find themselves locked in an intense battle of ego and passion.
With filming in full swing at a Mumbai studio, insiders reveal that Love & War is shaping up as a gripping face-off between Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. “The film revolves around two dominant personalities played by Ranbir and Vicky, both phenomenal actors. Their characters are at odds, caught in a compelling tug-of-war for Alia Bhatt’s character. Bhansali has already shot several confrontation scenes, and the chemistry between them is electrifying,” a source shared.
Bhansali is reportedly enjoying the process, as the lead trio—Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky—have completely surrendered themselves to his vision. The project remains on schedule for a March 2026 release, with shooting expected to wrap by November 2025.
Ranbir’s character carries intense negative shades, portrayed with aggression and depth, while Vicky’s role is calm yet unwaveringly strong—creating a clash of fire and ice on screen. Both actors play Indian Armed Forces officers, adding another layer of intensity to their face-off.
Love & War is set to grace the big screen on March 20, 2026, marking the return of Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal after their blockbuster hits, Animal and Chhaava, respectively. With Bhansali’s signature grandeur, high-stakes drama, and a stellar cast, this epic promises to be a cinematic spectacle like no other.
