Bhansali Returns to Set for Multi‑Day Song Shoot With Ranbir, Alia and Vicky

A planned multi-day setpiece will complete principal photography, letting the team concentrate on heavy VFX ahead of the January 21, 2027 Republic Day release.

Overview

  • Filming is set to resume on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at Mumbai’s Royal Palms with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal reuniting for a large-scale song sequence.
  • The number is expected to be filmed over several days on a specially constructed set and to feature nearly 200 dancers in elaborate choreography and costumes.
  • Sanjay Leela Bhansali has said the film is about 90 percent complete, with this shoot marking the closing phase of principal photography.
  • Earlier release windows including Christmas 2025, Eid 2026 and August 2026 were abandoned so the production can allow extra time for visual effects and post-production work.
  • Bhansali Productions is positioning Love & War as a pan‑India release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on January 21, 2027, drawing on Bhansali’s reputation for lavish, storyboarded setpieces to boost its Republic Day weekend prospects.
