EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Leela Bhansali gears up to shoot a big face-off between Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in Love And War

As a devoted admirer, I am thrilled to share that after the enchanting tales like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, Black, Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani, Padmavaat, and Gangubai, the visionary director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is working on his next masterpiece titled Love And War. This cinematic spectacle boasts an impressive ensemble cast consisting of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal.

The production for this epic saga began in November of the previous year, and over the past 8 months, about half of the film has already been shot. Now, it’s time to move forward, as I have exclusively learned that the director is planning to start filming the crucial high-intensity scenes from August 2025.

According to a report, Sanjay Leela Bhansali plans to film intense showdowns between actors Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal starting from August 2025. Currently, his team is busy constructing an elaborate set to capture the grand confrontation scenes of these two talented contemporary actors. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has meticulously crafted and designed these dramatic, dialogue-heavy sequences for Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. The source also mentions that approximately 100 days of shooting for Love And War have already been completed, with about 90 days left.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali aims to conclude filming Love And War by the end of 2025. A significant portion of the production will take place at various studios in Mumbai, but there are also plans for an outdoor shoot in Europe after October. The team recently scouted locations in Rome for this part of the project.

Currently, Love And War is holding firm to its release date in March 2025, as filming is progressing according to schedule. The team, led by SLB, is utilizing the breaks between schedules to finalize the editing of the previously shot scenes. The next phase of shooting commences around August, after RK and Alia return from their vacation in London, the source confirms. Additionally, it’s reported that the director plans to film high-energy sequences featuring Alia Bhatt during October and November as well.
