Bhansali’s Love & War Returns to Set for Massive Song Sequence

Resuming to complete principal photography, the production will shift into a lengthy visual‑effects and postproduction phase before a planned January 2027 release.

Overview

  • The shoot will resume on Thursday, June 18, at Mumbai’s Royal Palms for a multi-day, large-scale song featuring leads Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal.
  • The sequence is reported to involve about 200 dancers and a specially constructed set after weeks of finalising choreography, costumes and production design.
  • Sanjay Leela Bhansali has said roughly 90 percent of principal photography is complete, and this schedule marks the film’s final shooting push.
  • The brief pause in filming followed the leads’ commitments to other projects, including Kapoor’s Ramayana work and Kaushal’s Mahavatar, which constrained earlier dates.
  • Makers have moved away from earlier release windows and are planning a January 2027 theatrical launch to allow time for extensive VFX and postproduction work.
