Love & War Update: Ranbir, Alia & Vicky’s Epic Film Still on Track

Love & War, starring Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, and Ranbir Kapoor, was originally scheduled for release on Christmas 2025 but was then rescheduled for Eid 2026. However, there have been fresh rumours that the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film has been postponed once more and will not be able to hit theatres on the scheduled day. We now learn, though, that the reports may not be accurate and that the movie is proceeding as planned.

The movie is on schedule, according to a source close to the production, who also called the claims implying a delay "baseless" (New18). According to the source, there have been no talks regarding a "possible delay" at the production end, and Love & War is moving forward as planned.

One of the most anticipated Bollywood productions of 2026 is L&W. Three of the industry's most powerful actors—Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky—come together in the masterpiece. SLB, who has directed some of the most stunning films on the big screen, is directing this one. It promises to be an epic love story with two strong-willed men fighting for ego, set against the backdrop of war.

Love & War, a Ranbir Kapoor vs. Vicky Kaushal movie, is being filmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Pinkvilla exclusively disclosed earlier in March. "They are both outstanding actresses who compete fiercely for Alia Bhatt's role. According to a source, SLB has already filmed a few confrontation scenes between RK and Vicky and is quite pleased with the results because both protagonists have outstanding on-screen personas.

It's interesting to note that Ranbir's character in the movie exhibits negative traits and violence. Vicky, on the other hand, has a quiet yet strong voice. The information about RK and VK's roles has only increased the excitement surrounding L&W, which is already one of the year's most anticipated films.

Vicky Kaushal talked candidly about working with SLB in L&W in an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla in February. The actor called the director a "master and a genius at work" and applauded him. Vicky stated he is enjoying himself on the sets of Ranbir and Alia's second collaboration after Sanju and Raazi.
