In 2024, TopMob first broke the news that Sanjay Leela Bhansali was bringing together Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal for a project titled Love & War. Ever since this announcement, anticipation has been running high for this epic love story. Initially scheduled to premiere on March 20, 2026, recent developments indicate that the release date of Love & War has been adjusted to coincide with Independence Day 2026. Assuming all goes well, Bhansali’s masterpiece might find itself in a box office showdown against Kartik Aaryan’s Naagzilla and Varun Dhawan’s Bhediya 2.
According to a reliable insider, Love & War encountered a hiccup because its shooting schedule was postponed by three months, thereby shifting the premiere date as well. With the need to revise their initial Eid 2026 debut strategy, Independence Day weekend turned out to be an ideal replacement. The source added that for Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is known for his grand productions on love and conflict themes, the Independence Day weekend seemed fitting.
The portal hinted that although the formal announcement of the premiere date for the movie featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal remains uncertain, indications suggest it could be during the Independence Day weekend in 2026. Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan shared a sneak peek on Instagram of his character as a ‘wishful serpent’ (icchadhaari naag) in Karan Johar’s Naagzilla, with an expected release date set for August 14, 2026.
Earlier in January, Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films announced an exciting lineup for their popular horror-comedy universe, which includes the sequel to Bhediya, featuring Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, and Abhishek Banerjee.
The movie will premiere in cinemas on August 14, 2026 – Independence Day. It’s directed by Amar Kaushik and continues the exciting storyline started in the hit film from 2022, Bhediya.
If all goes according to plan, the movie “Love & War” stands ready for a grand showdown at the box office with “Naagzilla,” starring Kartik Aaryan, and “Bhediya 2,” featuring Varun Dhawan.
In 2026, the highly anticipated project, Love & War, is set to release. This movie boasts a stellar cast featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, all under the skilled guidance of acclaimed director Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
