Love & War Postponed! Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal’s Film Books Eid Date for 2026

Oh bhai, kya zamana aa gaya hai! Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-awaited epic, "Love & War," featuring the power trio—Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal—has been delayed. Christmas 2025 ka plan tha, but now mark your calendars for March 20, 2026! Kyun? Bas aise hi, because Bollywood loves keeping us on our toes. 🤷‍♀️

Release Pushed

So, pehle suna tha ki "Love & War" will grace us on Christmas 2025. But nope! The date has been shifted to March 20, 2026. Kya karen, yeh toh Bollywood ka daily soap hai! The announcement came via an official press release, making it all ‘official shofficial.’

But haan, the new date is clever, covering major holidays like Ramzan, Ram Navami, and Gudi Padwa. Smart move, Bhansali ji! 👏

Big Reveal on Insta

The film was announced in January 2024 with a big bang on Instagram. There was a dramatic post saying, “We Bring You Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Epic Saga ‘Love & War.’ See You At The Movies Christmas 2025,” with the autographs of Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky. Matlab, pura Bollywood ka tamasha!

Trade Expert Taran Adarsh Confirms

Trade expert Taran Adarsh ne bhi X (Twitter ka naya naam, bhai!) pe confirm kar diya. He wrote, “RANBIR KAPOOR – ALIA BHATT – VICKY KAUSHAL: SANJAY LEELA BHANSALI FINALISES RELEASE DATE… 20 March 2026 is the release date of #SanjayLeelaBhansali’s next film, titled #LoveAndWar… Stars #RanbirKapoor, #AliaBhatt and #VickyKaushal.”

About the Film

The film was officially announced in January 2024, with the big Insta announcement as mentioned earlier. Ranbir will be the first to hit the sets in October 2024, followed by Vicky by October 10. And our darling Alia will join the party at the end of December or early January. Matlab, full Bollywood style entry!

This project is the second collaboration between Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Alia after "Gangubai Kathiawadi" in 2022, jisme Alia ne National Award jeeta tha. Waah, kya baat hai! Also, Ranbir Kapoor is reuniting with Bhansali after his debut in "Saawariya" in 2007. Uff, nostalgia overload!

Kiran’s Gyan

“Arre bhai, Bollywood mein sab kuch chalta hai—except punctuality! But yeh hi toh mazaa hai. Dates badalte hain, lekin excitement kabhi kam nahi hoti. Toh bas, thoda intezaar aur sahi. Picture abhi baki hai mere dost!”
