When Sanjay Leela Bhansali makes a film, fans expect grandiose productions, impressive sets, a compelling story, and incredible creativity. His films are always eye-catching and grand. But his new film, "Love and War," seems to be stuck. Find out why.

Release Delayed Due to Shooting
According to a Variety India report, the film was originally planned to be completed in just 120 days. However, 175 days have passed, and there's still work to be done. Three major songs and a crucial scene remain, requiring at least 50 more days. Sanjay Leela Bhansali meticulously crafts every frame and leaves no stone unturned in grandeur. This is his specialty, but this is also causing delays. The war scenes, in particular, are very large and complex, which is why they're taking longer.

Budget Concerns
The film's budget was initially set at ₹350 crore. Now, it has increased to approximately ₹425 crore. This amount is reportedly just for production. According to reports, Ranbir, Vicky, and Alia have decided to share in the film's profits instead of receiving any upfront payment. This means their earnings will depend on the film's earnings.

When could it be released?
The shooting of "Love and War" has not yet been completed. The release date is being reported as late 2026 or early 2027. The film may be based on a love triangle. While some are linking it to the old film "Sangam," Bhansali has denied this. "Love and War" stars Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, and Alia Bhatt. It is a romantic period drama that will depict a love story set during wartime.
