Sanjay Leela Bhansali is one of the critically acclaimed filmmakers in Bollywood. He has left an ever-lasting impression on the audience with his prolific body of work. His successful films include Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Black and Saawariya. The director seeks inspiration from the prominent late filmmaker Raj Kapoor’s works. Sanjay talked about it in a recent interview. Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, “When I’m making a film, I know I want to make it like Raj Kapoor. He’s always seated behind me, telling me what I have to do. Sometimes I don’t even know where a moment came from. It’s only later that I realise what inspired it."
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is looking forward to his upcoming film titled Love and War. This film boasts of a talented star cast of actors Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. Bhansali Productions and Jio Studios have backed this film. This film was initially scheduled for a Christmas 2025 release. As per Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s team, the release date of Love and War has been changed. This film will now be out in theatres on March 20, 2026. Love and War will be the second project of Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Leela Bhansali after the actor’s 2007 debut Saawariya. While Vicky Kaushal has never teamed up with the filmmaker, Alia worked under Sanjay in the 2022 drama Gangubai Kathiawadi.
The film’s storyline is under wraps. According to reports, Love and War went on the floors with Ranbir Kapoor in the first week of October 2024. Vicky Kaushal will join the cast October 10, as per reports. Alia will join from the end of December or early January. As per reports, this film is an original love story. Sanjay Leela Bhansali was reportedly very keen to take a step back from the period drama’s intense tone. He has been looking to make a love story, and this subject has been at the back of his mind for a while now.
Apart from Love and War, Sanjay will also direct the film Baiju Bawra, headlined by the actor Ranveer Singh.
