It is a film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. We are at the tail end of filming. It has been quite a magical experience. Working with Sanjay sir is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I am so grateful that I get to do it.” The film marks Alia’s second collaboration with Bhansali after 2022’s Gangubai Kathiawadi , for which she won a National Award for Best Actress.
Alia Bhatt’s Filming Experience
When the film was originally announced, it set a release date of Christmas 2025. However, just months before that date, it was pushed to March 20, 2026. However, earlier this year, it was reported that the film will now release only in 2027. HT learnt that the film has no release date but is committed to release in 2026. It was reported that filming was on track and most of the major sequences had been wrapped up. However, no release date has been locked for the film.
With stringent measures in place and a star-studded cast, ‘Love & War’ remains a highly anticipated project. Despite release date shifts, Bhansali’s vision is steadily progressing, promising a cinematic experience in 2026.
