Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up to start shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-anticipated film, Love And War. The film brings together a stellar cast, including Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, in what promises to be an epic tale of romance and action. The release date is set for March 20, 2026.
Earlier this year, Bhansali made headlines by assembling this remarkable trio for his next project. Initially, the filming was expected to begin on October 10 in Mumbai. However, heavy rains in the city delayed the schedule. Now, the shooting is officially set to kick off on November 7.
Ranbir Kapoor Set to Begin The Shoot Of Love And War
Sources close to the project have revealed to Pinkvilla that Ranbir will start shooting his solo sequences first. “Love And War will begin on November 7 in Mumbai. The set construction has already begun, and SLB is all ready to take the film on floors with Ranbir Kapoor,” a source shared.
After a couple of weeks of shooting, Vicky Kaushal will join the cast. Alia Bhatt is scheduled to start her work on Love And War after wrapping up her current film, Alpha, in early December.
The filming for Love And War is expected to span a year, with plans to shoot at various locations across India. The entire shooting schedule is outlined from November 2024 to October 2025.
“Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal have reserved over 200 days to shoot for Love And War until October next year,” the source noted.

Meanwhile, Ranbir aims to complete his filming by July or August 2025, as he has commitments to shoot for Ramayana: Part 2 starting then. Following that, he will also work on two other major projects: Dhoom 4 and Animal Park.
Alia Bhatt had been considering a romantic film slated for November 2025, but she is now reassessing her schedule after Love And War. Similarly, Vicky Kaushal is looking into a few film options to kick off after November 2025.
Love And War is produced by Bhansali using a self-financing model. Although there might be a studio involved later, the project is currently moving forward without external financing. This film is one of the most awaited releases for 2026, and its strategic launch date aligns with the holiday season, promising to draw in significant audiences.
For fans wondering about the film’s content, Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal will portray characters from the Indian Armed Forces.
