Sanjay Leela Bhansali's recent web series 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar' has impressed the audience immensely, and now the excitement is growing for his next project 'Love and War'. The film will feature major stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles. 'Love and War' will be released in theatres on March 20, 2026, which will coincide with important festivals like Ramzan, Ram Navami and Gudi Padwa, making it likely to get the benefit of holidays.
The shooting of the film is set to begin soon. According to sources, its first schedule will go on the floors on October 24. While the length of the first schedule is not known, it could be an extended schedule considering the grandeur of Bhansali's films. This will be Vicky Kaushal's first project with Bhansali, while Ranbir and Alia have worked with him before. Ranbir made his debut with Bhansali's 'Saawariya' (2007), and Alia worked with Bhansali in 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' (2022).
Another interesting thing about the film is that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has struck a significant deal with Netflix. This deal may increase depending on the box office success of the film. Along with this, a music deal has also been struck with Saregama. The non-theatrical revenue is expected to reach Rs 215 crore, which may prove to be a huge profit for the film.
The casting of 'Love and War' and Bhansali's unique direction make it a much-awaited project. The audience is already curious about the story of the film and its grandeur. Now all eyes are on the shooting of this film, its first look, and release. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has always given the audience a great experience through his work, and this time too, people have very high expectations from his film 'Love and War'.
