On January 24th, 2024, Bhansali Productions announced their upcoming film titled Love and War, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal in the lead roles. This film marks Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s second collaboration with Alia Bhatt after Gangubai Kathiawadi and the first collaboration between him and Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.

This also marks the third time we will see Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal together after Bombay Velvet in 2015 and Sanju in 2018. Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal previously worked together in Raazi in 2018, while Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt collaborated in Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva.

The film marks Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 11th directorial venture. Since making his directorial debut with Khamoshi: The Musical in 1996, the legendary director has won 7 National Film Awards (1 each for Devdas, Black, Mary Kom, Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat, and 2 for Gangubai Kathiawadi) & 12 Filmfare Awards during his 28 years of service in the industry as a director.

His film career started as an Assistant Director in Parinda in 1989. He has also written the screenplay for the Vidhu Vinod Chopra directorial all-time blockbuster 1942: A Love Story. He gifted us with unforgettable love stories in films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ramleela, & Bajirao Mastani.

There is no doubt that Christmas 2025 will be bigger with the arrival of Love and War in theaters, and we are going to witness the magic of storytelling once again. The presence of three rising stars of this generation, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, & Vicky Kaushal, will add more excitement to this.
