Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly anticipated film “Love & War” has hit another roadblock. The movie, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, was initially slated for release during Christmas 2025. However, the release date has been pushed to Eid 2026, marking March 19, 2026, as the new target.
What’s Causing the Delay?
The film’s action sequences are set to begin shooting in November 2025, and the production team aims to wrap up principal photography by January 2026. However, with the extensive post-production work required, meeting the March 2026 deadline seems challenging. The delay is partly due to the busy schedules of the lead actors.
- Ranbir Kapoor is currently engaged with his upcoming film “Ramayana.”
- Alia Bhatt is busy shooting for “Alpha.”
- Vicky Kaushal is expected to take on new projects following the success of his recent film “Chhaava.”
The complex coordination required among the three lead actors and the extensive production demands have contributed to the delay. Despite the setback, fans remain eager for the film’s release, given its star-studded cast and Bhansali’s direction. The film’s production is expected to be completed by January 2026. However, the post-production process is likely to extend beyond that, making a March 2026 release uncertain.
