Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal to star in Sanjay Bhansali's Love & War
Pinkvilla was the first to inform that Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal are teaming up with celebrated filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali for a love story set against the backdrop of War. A source close to the development said: "Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been fascinated to make a pure love story that stands the test of time and this one falls right in the zone. It's a timeless love story with three principal characters played by Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky. The maverick filmmaker is looking to take the film on floors around November 2024 with a marathon schedule. The yet-to-be-titled film is an original love story set against the backdrop of War. It's an homage by SLB to the 1964 classic, Sangam directed by Raj Kapoor."
Right after this news came out, Vicky Kaushal took to Instagram to announce the project along with its titled which is Love & War. He shared a poster of the film that read, "We bring you Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic saga 'Love & War'. See you at the Movies Christmas 2025." Underneath this text, there are signatures of Ranbir, Alia and Vicky. The caption read, "An eternal cinema dream has come true."
The film marks reunion between SLB and Ranbir Kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor started her career assisting Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Black. The director eventually launched him along with Sonam Kapoor in his 2007 film Saawariya. Love & War will mark the duo's reunion after nearly 17 years.
The same source also stated, "It's a great story that got all three stalwarts excited. It's a casting coup pulled off by SLB in such a short span, and that's purely based on the power of his screenplay. Rarely are 4 of the top names from the fraternity excited by the same subject and it has happened this time with SLB, Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky signing on the project."
Earlier, Bhansali was planning to make a film titled Baiju Bawra with Ranveer Singh and Alia. However, he decided to put that project on hold and instead worked on Love & War.
