Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal Face Off in Bhansali's Love and War

Sanjay Leela Bhansali introduces his upcoming film Love and War with Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal taking main roles. Fans consider it one of the most eagerly anticipated films of 2026. Love and War sets its release date for Eid and promises a spectacular visual experience. Bhansali combines his unique storytelling style with the acting power of his talented ensemble.

The movie tells a passionate tale of three characters while showing their lives during wartime as Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal passionately pursue Alia Bhatt's character. Production sources indicate that Bhansali has filmed powerful conflict moments between Ranbir and Vicky showcasing their electrifying performance. “The film revolves around a tug-of-war between Ranbir and Vicky’s characters, both of whom bring exceptional screen presence and deliver powerful performances,” revealed a source.

The actors Ranbir and Vicky previously collaborated in Sanju are returning to act together in this big-budget period drama. Ranbir brings passionate intensity to his role while Vicky portrays determined restraint in the film to present an iconic contrast of personality types. Sources indicate that the actors challenge themselves to match the vision that Film Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali envisioned for this project.

After Gangubai Kathiawadi with Bhansali, Alia Bhatt now joins forces with him once again for a second time. Ranbir debuted in cinema through Saawariya directed by Bhansali and now plans to work with the filmmaker after an 18-year gap since his first film. Vicky Kaushal makes his first appearance under the direction of Bhansali while joining the talented cast.

Production of the film continues without major obstacles as the team works towards making a March 2026 theater debut. Love and War stands at risk of facing major competition at the box office due to Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming release King, both with hopes for the same release date.
