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.
