Ranbir Kapoor Confirms 'Love & War' Delayed to After 'Ramayana' Diwali 2026 Release

The move is driven by heavy VFX demands alongside release‑calendar strategy.

Overview

  • During an Instagram Live tied to his ARKS brand anniversary, Kapoor said Ramayana Part One is his next release, slated for Diwali/October 2026.
  • He confirmed Love & War will arrive after Ramayana with no date locked, as trade outlets indicate a likely late‑2026 or early‑2027 window.
  • The reschedule avoids the March 19, 2026 weekend that now features Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic in a direct clash.
  • Production reporting points to large‑scale aerial action and time‑intensive visual effects as key reasons for the extended timeline.
  • Kapoor praised Sanjay Leela Bhansali and signaled progress on Brahmastra 2 and Animal Park, pushing back on rift or shelving rumors.
