Ever since Sanjay Leela Bhansali announced Love & War in January 2024, fans have been eager to get a peek into the world of the Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal-starrer. Well, that may happen sooner than later. Sources have told mid-day that Bhansali is likely to share the first glimpse of the romantic saga in January 2026.  

“The idea always was that the team will put out an asset in January to tease the audience about the world they have in store. It could be an official poster or images from the set, which Bhansali has meticulously created. The audience has already seen the actors’ avatars through leaked pictures. But now, the director wants people to see his vision of Love & War,” said a source. 


Even though the first promotional asset will be unveiled in January 2026, there is no word on when the film will arrive in cinemas, after its March 19 release was postponed. Meanwhile, we’ve heard the shoot is nearing completion. Another source shared, “A few days ago, Alia shot for a wedding sequence with Ranbir in Mumbai. Now, she has only the climax left to shoot with the leads, after which it will be a wrap for her. The male leads, however, will continue to shoot for another six weeks.” 



New release date?

The buzz is that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is keen on releasing ‘Love & War’ on August 14, even as Ranbir Kapoor feels a June release would be better as it offers a sufficient gap between the romantic saga and ‘Ramayan Part 1’
