Bhansali’s Love & War Extends Shoot to May 2026, Targets August–September Release Window: Reports

Overview

  • Multiple outlets, citing Bollywood Hungama, report the changes, and note there has been no official confirmation from the filmmakers.
  • Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal have reportedly blocked their calendars through May 2026 as additional shoot days are added.
  • Plans for a March or June 2026 bow are said to be off the table, with August or September now being considered for release.
  • A first look or teaser is expected in early 2026, with the possibility of revealing the finalized date.
