The anticipation for Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s next grand project, “Love and War,” is reaching fever pitch as fans eagerly await the chance to see Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, and Ranbir Kapoor together on screen. Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker known for his opulent and cinematic storytelling, the film is set to be a major highlight in the upcoming years.

According to recent reports, the filming of “Love and War” is slated to commence this year. Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor are scheduled to begin shooting in October 2024, with Alia Bhatt set to join them in December. This staggered schedule reflects the meticulous planning involved in bringing this high-profile project to life.

Sources indicate that Ranbir Kapoor will start his sequences in the first week of October, followed closely by Vicky Kaushal around October 10. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is expected to shoot solo sequences featuring Ranbir initially before moving on to scenes involving both Ranbir and Vicky. This careful orchestration ensures that the film’s production aligns with the availability of its star cast.

Alia Bhatt, who is currently focused on wrapping up her commitments to the Yash Raj Films production “Alpha,” will join the “Love and War” team in December. The actress has dedicated significant time to completing “Alpha,” a high-profile film involving a complex action sequence. Once her work on “Alpha” concludes by late November or early December, she will transition to Bhansali’s film.

Bhatt, along with Vicky Kaushal, has committed to an extensive schedule for “Love and War,” with over 200 days allocated to the film. This significant dedication underlines the importance of the project and Bhansali’s vision for his epic love story.

“Love and War” marks Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s second collaboration with Alia Bhatt following their successful venture “Gangubai Kathiawadi” in 2022. Bhatt’s role in “Gangubai Kathiawadi” earned her the National Award for Best Actress, and expectations are high for her performance in this new project.

This film also represents Ranbir Kapoor’s second collaboration with Bhansali, following his acting debut in the director’s 2007 film “Saawariya.” The previous work between Bhansali and Kapoor set a strong foundation for their upcoming collaboration, generating excitement for what is expected to be another visually stunning and emotionally compelling film.

The announcement of “Love and War” was met with enthusiasm from fans and industry insiders alike. The lead actors shared the film’s announcement poster on their social media handles, further amplifying the buzz and anticipation surrounding the project.

As the production of “Love and War” progresses, the film is expected to dominate headlines and keep fans engaged with regular updates. With Sanjay Leela Bhansali at the helm and a star-studded cast, “Love and War” promises to be a cinematic event that fans and critics will eagerly look forward to.
