Production Source Says Bhansali’s Love & War Still Set for 2026, Contradicting Fresh Delay Reports

A production source disputes talk of a 2027 delay, saying the team is targeting 2026.

Overview

  • An insider quoted by Hindustan Times says the film has not been pushed and remains a 2026 release, with major sequences already shot and a song recently completed.
  • Pinkvilla, cited by Free Press Journal, reports the release is shifting to 2027 because significant filming remains and principal photography is only expected to finish by June 2026.
  • The same reports cite large-scale aerial action and heavy visual effects as factors that would extend post-production and make a 2026 opening unlikely.
  • No official release date has been announced, and earlier talk of a March 2026 window was reported as unconfirmed.
  • Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in a period romantic drama, the project is also weighing calendar considerations with Kapoor’s Ramayana: Part One slated for late 2026.
