One of Bollywood’s biggest star pairings and most closely followed productions has hit its next major milestone. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War, led by Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and Alia Bhatt, has wrapped its shoot, setting the stage for its theatrical release on January 21, 2027.
That update instantly pushes the film into its most crucial phase yet. With principal photography now complete, Bhansali moves to post-production on a title that has carried enormous curiosity ever since its casting was announced. The combination of Bhansali’s scale, Ranbir Kapoor’s screen presence, Vicky Kaushal’s dramatic intensity and Alia Bhatt’s star power has kept Love and War firmly on the industry’s must-watch list.
Love And War Wraps Shoot
The latest development marks the end of principal photography for Love and War. Bhansali and the film’s team marked the occasion with an emotional farewell on set as the project moved into its next phase.
The release date of January 21, 2027 had already been announced earlier this year, and the film is expected to arrive in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. That Republic Day corridor gives Bhansali another expansive canvas for a big-screen event film, a space the director has repeatedly owned with his grand visual style and emotionally charged storytelling.
Cast, Director And Film Details
Love and War is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and stars Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and Alia Bhatt in the lead. The film is backed by Bhansali Productions and is positioned as an intense romantic action drama mounted on a large scale.
The makers have kept plot details tightly under wraps, but the film is being mounted as a sweeping dramatic spectacle driven by romance, conflict and Bhansali’s signature visual grandeur. That places it squarely within the filmmaker’s most ambitious big-screen tradition.
Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal And Alia Bhatt’s Recent And Upcoming Work
For Ranbir Kapoor, Love and War joins a packed line-up that also includes Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, whose first official unveiling arrived earlier this year. His last theatrical release remains Animal from 2023, a film that emerged as a major box office success and reaffirmed his command over larger-than-life dramatic roles.
Vicky Kaushal, meanwhile, came off Chhaava, which released on February 14, 2025 and added another intense lead turn to his recent body of work. That makes Love and War a particularly high-stakes next chapter for the actor, especially within a cast of this scale and visibility.
For Alia Bhatt, the film extends a run of headline-making choices. She most recently headlined Alpha, which released in theatres on July 3, 2026 as part of the YRF Spy Universe, and now returns to Bhansali’s world after Gangubai Kathiawadi. That reunion, paired with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in the same frame, remains one of the film’s strongest draws as Love and War heads into post-production.
