Love & War Shoot Ends, Bhansali’s Grand Epic Moves to Post-Production

New Delhi, September 05 2026 Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly anticipated Love & War has officially completed filming, marking a major step forward for one of Bollywood’s most awaited upcoming projects. Featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in the lead, the romantic war drama will now move into post-production as it prepares for its theatrical release on January 21, 2027. The film began shooting on November 7, 2024, and went through several filming schedules and changes before reaching its final stage. The last leg of the shoot started in August 2026, and with production now complete, the project has crossed an important milestone. Reports suggest that Bhansali and his team bid an emotional farewell to the entire unit as the filming journey came to an end. Envisioned as a large-scale cinematic spectacle, Love & War is expected to combine Bhansali’s grand visual presentation and elaborate production design with an intense and personal human conflict. The director’s distinctive filmmaking style, along with the presence of three major stars, has generated considerable excitement around the project. The film’s release date has also changed more than once. Love & War was originally planned for a Christmas 2025 release before being postponed to 2026. It was later delayed again and is now scheduled to arrive in theatres during the Republic Day weekend in January 2027. The project also marks the first time Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal are coming together under Bhansali’s direction. While details about the story and characters remain largely undisclosed, anticipation continues to grow, especially since no footage or first look has been released so far. With its shoot now complete, attention will shift to post-production as audiences wait to see Bhansali bring this ambitious romantic war drama to the big screen in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
