About Love And War
The Sanjay Leela Bhansali film has been in the making since 2024 and is reportedly mounted on a budget of Rs 425 crores. A few months ago, a report in Variety India stated that the actors have not charged any fee for the film. It was also reported that Love And War has bagged a deal worth Rs 130 crores with Netflix and has earned another Rs 70-80 crores through its music and satellite rights.
In June, Love And War’s choreographer Vijay Ganguly told Variety India in an interview, “We did a piece with Ranbir and Alia. It’s not a song, but it’s a piece. What we did was magical because of what Sanjay Leela Bhansali came up with as an idea, what we did, and what Ranbir added to it in the process. I mean, when you see it, you will know. SLB is someone who will give you everything that you need. If I need five days, he will let me take six. So it’s like you get everything with him. And creatively, he is involved in every small little process. So it’s just a dream to work with someone like that.”
Ranbir Kapoor, who made his debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya, has collaborated with him once again after almost two decades for this film. Alia Bhatt last worked with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in Gangubai Kathiawadi, the film released in 2022. Love And War marks the first collaboration between SLB and Vicky Kaushal. Love And War is releasing worldwide on 21st January 2027, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
