Ranbir spotted with script at Bhansali office

Ranbir spotted with script at Bhansali office. The anticipation for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming epic, "Love & War", continues to build. Earlier this year, the filmmaker stunned audiences by announcing his latest cinematic spectacle, featuring a dream cast of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. The project marks a reunion between Ranbir and SLB after a 17-year hiatus, dating back to Ranbir's debut film, "Sawaariya".

Recently, Ranbir was spotted outside Sanjay Leela Bhansali's office, fueling further excitement about the project. Sporting a clean-shaven look and carrying a script, the actor appeared relaxed and engaged in a meeting with the director. This sighting further solidifies the buzz surrounding the film, slated for a grand theatrical release on Christmas 2025.

As previously reported, Ranbir has outlined specific terms in his contract for the project. According to Bollywood Hungama, the actor has insisted on a structured shooting timeline to ensure he can fulfill other commitments. He has requested SLB to commence filming in November 2023 and complete principal photography by July 2025, as he has other projects lined up starting August 2025.

Ranbir has also requested fixed working hours on the set, a direct response to his experience during the filming of "Sawaariya", where erratic schedules were a concern. He has also emphasized the importance of discipline and professionalism from all departments involved.

The source also revealed that Alia Bhatt played a key role in facilitating this collaboration between Ranbir and Bhansali. It is understood that she brought them together, encouraging open communication and negotiation on the terms of the project.

"Love & War" promises to be a visual spectacle, and the news of the film's development has been met with immense excitement by audiences. Vicky Kaushal first shared the announcement on Instagram, featuring the signatures of himself, Alia Bhatt, and Ranbir Kapoor alongside the title.

The project will reunite Ranbir and Vicky on the big screen after their collaboration in "Sanju", while Ranbir and Alia will be seen together again following the success of "Brahmastra". "Love & War" is set to become one of the most anticipated releases of 2025.
