Bhansali’s ‘Love & War’ Moves to Mhow Army Base for New 15-Day Shoot

Securing permissions to film authentic pre-independence sequences at Mhow’s cantonment is the final hurdle before the team moves to Italy for an end-of-year wrap, despite uncertainty over a March 2026 debut.

Overview

  • The production will film for about 15 days at Mhow’s British-era army base, pending local approvals for key scenes featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
  • Mhow’s historic cantonment, complete with preserved artillery and Indian Army training institutions, offers an authentic backdrop for the film’s wartime sequences.
  • Following the Mhow schedule, the crew plans an October shoot in Italy and aims to complete all principal photography by the end of 2025.
  • Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal have undergone intensive physical preparations and night shoots for large-scale wartime sequences, adding to the film’s logistical complexity.
  • Industry reports are divided on whether post-production can meet the original March 20, 2026 release date or if the film will be postponed.
