Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Love & War’ Faces Potential Mid-2026 Release Shift

Reports suggest delays due to war sequence production and budget adjustments, though conflicting sources claim the project remains on track for March 2026.

Overview

  • The epic starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal was originally slated for Christmas 2025, later moved to March 20, 2026.
  • Sources indicate that a large-scale war sequence scheduled for November 2025 could delay post-production, making the March release unlikely.
  • Budgetary adjustments for the self-funded project reportedly caused a two-month shooting delay earlier in production.
  • Industry insiders suggest the delay might also help avoid a box-office clash with Yash’s ‘Toxic,’ set to release in March 2026.
  • An independent source disputes any delay, stating the film is progressing as planned and remains on schedule for its March 2026 release.
