  • A viral social-media post from Mamaraazzi alleging a heart attack and hospitalisation was refuted by the filmmaker’s representatives as false and baseless.
  • Variety India reporting indicates Love & War has logged roughly 175 shoot days with about 50 more planned, with three songs and a key dramatic sequence still pending.
  • The film’s reported budget has climbed from about ₹350 crore to roughly ₹425 crore, reflecting extended production on the large-scale project.
