Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal's 'Love and War' To Be Delayed

Mumbai, April 22 - Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic romantic drama Love & War might be delayed from its original March 2026 release. The film starring Bollywood stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal is currently under production. ## The shoot of Love & War kicked off last year, and the makers announced a March 20, 2026, release. According to the latest report by The Hollywood Reporter India, the current shooting timeline of the film involves a mega war sequence, which the director will mount on a huge scale. ## After the war sequence is filmed, which will only reportedly happen in November this year, the makers aim to wrap the entire filming by January 2026. Given the delay in the shoot, it will be almost impossible for the team to complete the post-production in 2 months and release the film in March, per THR India.## Given all the aforementioned situations, the film is most likely to be delayed. Interestingly, Yash-fronted Toxic was recently confirmed for March 20, 2026, release in multiple languages, and that might be the first indication of Love and War getting delayed. ## Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor and Yash have teamed up for the first time for the epic Ramayana, in which the former plays the role of Lord Rama while Yash features as Ravana. This 2-part film is currently in production for Diwali 2026 and Diwali 2027 release, simultaneously.## Stay tuned...
