Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Love & War' Delayed to Mid-2026

Production setbacks, budget reworks, and a large-scale war sequence push the epic film's release beyond March 2026 to avoid competition with Yash's 'Toxic.'

Love and War was officially announced in January 2024.

Overview

  • The release of 'Love & War,' originally slated for Christmas 2025 and later moved to March 2026, is now expected in mid-2026 due to production delays.
  • Shooting delays stem from budget revisions as director Sanjay Leela Bhansali self-funds the ambitious project and secures necessary financing.
  • A critical war sequence, planned for November 2025, has extended the shooting timeline to February 2026, making a March release unfeasible.
  • The release has been strategically postponed to avoid a box office clash with Yash’s highly anticipated film 'Toxic,' set for March 19, 2026.
  • Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, the epic marks Bhansali’s return to large-scale period filmmaking, following his acclaimed works.
