Sanjay Leela Bhansali is gearing up to deliver one of 2025’s most anticipated films with Love & War, a grand period romance starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. With its star-studded cast and Bhansali’s legendary storytelling, the film promises to blend emotional intensity with visual grandeur.
Filming Moves to Historic Mhow
Following the successful completion of the initial schedule in Mumbai, the team will now head to Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, for a 15-day shoot. Known for its colonial-era architecture, cantonment charm, and rich military history, Mhow offers the perfect backdrop for Bhansali’s period vision. Once a key base during British rule, the town’s vintage aesthetic aligns seamlessly with the film’s pre-independence setting, adding historical depth and authenticity.
A Love Triangle Inspired by a Classic
Love & War, inspired by Raj Kapoor’s iconic Sangam, revolves around a love triangle set against the backdrop of war. The film explores themes of love, loyalty, and personal sacrifice—hallmarks of Bhansali’s cinematic style. Real-life couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt share the screen as romantic leads, while Vicky Kaushal’s presence adds intensity and complexity to the triangle.
Bhansali’s Signature Spectacle
World-known for lavish epics like Padmaavat, Devdas, and Bajirao Mastani, Bhansali will usher in the same degree of opulence in Love & War. The movie will have rich cinematography, emotionally powerful performances, and a soul-stirring soundtrack.
Release Date: March 26, 2025
Scheduled for a March 26, 2025 release, Love & War is set to be a milestone film—combining historical depth with eternal romance and emotional narrative. Directed by Bhansali, this epic cinematic saga is set to make an indelible mark.
