Sanjay Leela Bhansali's highly anticipated drama, Love & War, starring Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, and Ranbir Kapoor, has been generating immense buzz. The film's shoot is set to commence post-Diwali, and recent photos of Kapoor and Kaushal at Bikaner's Air Force Base have sparked speculation about their roles. The images, posted by an Indian Air Force officer on X, suggest that the duo might play Air Force officers in this love triangle drama, scheduled for release on March 20, 2026.
Love & War marks a reunion for Kapoor and Kaushal, who previously delivered stellar performances in the 2018 biographical drama Sanju. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has expressed excitement for the film, calling it "very special" and "contemporary" in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India. This collaboration between Bhansali, Kapoor, Bhatt, and Kaushal has left fans eagerly anticipating the epic love saga.
Set against the backdrop of war, Love & War will feature Kapoor's character with negative shades. Alia Bhatt will join the shoot in December or early January, once she wraps up YRF's female spy universe film Alpha alongside Sharvari. The film's shoot is slated to begin in October, with a release date locked for March 20, 2026.
As fans await more updates on Love & War, the prospect of Kapoor and Kaushal sharing screen space again has generated immense excitement. With Bhansali's masterful direction and the talented cast, this film promises to be an unforgettable cinematic experience.
