Ever since Love And War was announced, there have been rumors going on that is inspired by the 1964 hit film Sangam which featured Raj Kapoor, Vyjayanthimala, and Rajendra Kumar. Breaking the bubble, Sanjay Leela Bhansali told The Hollywood Reporter India, “You should not remake Sholay, Mother India. So, why would I remake Sangam?” He further gave major updates on his next directorial with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal.,

The Heeramandi helmer stated that it’s a film he is very excited about. “It’s a very very special film because it’s now not in the period, there are no pillars, no more costumes, no more horses; it’s contemporary. It’s different, the music is different.” He continued by saying that he enjoys making it and has wonderful actors. Regarding Ranbir, SLB stated that he is collaborating with the Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar star after 18 years.

The filmmaker also heaped praise on Alia and stated that even though they recently worked together in the National Award-winning film Gangubai Kathiawadi, he can’t stop working with her because there’s still so much to be said through her. “Still so much to tap into that chota packet bada dhamaka girl that she is,” Bhansali stated.
