Reports Say ‘Love & War’ Extends Shoot to May 2026, Eyes August–September Release

A first-look reveal is expected in early January 2026, according to trade outlets.

Overview

  • Multiple industry reports say Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film will keep cameras rolling until May 2026.
  • With filming extended, the project is now being targeted for an August–September 2026 release instead of earlier March or Eid plans.
  • Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal have reportedly blocked their schedules through May 2026, a shift that has disappointed members of the Ramayana team who wanted a wider gap between releases.
  • Trade coverage links the prolonged schedule to rising production costs, with no official budgets disclosed.
  • Outlets report the makers plan to drop a first look or teaser in early January 2026, potentially alongside a release-date announcement, though nothing has been confirmed by the production.
