'Love and War' shoot update

Sanjay Leela Bhansali never disappoints when it comes to music, dance and the magnificient sets. The same will be seen in his upcoming next. Accroding to Mid-Day, the first sequence kicks off next week on January 20 at Film City in Goregaon. Choreographer Ganesh Acharya leads this high-energy number featuring all three leads. Several news websites and sources-describe it as dramatic and visually opulent, true to Bhansali’s style that blends romance with theatrical flair.




The second song follows on February 9. This one pushes boundaries even further. Shiamak Davar handles choreography, infusing theatrical energy into an experimental setup unlike anything Bhansali has tried before. Expect bold movements-and staging that tie into the film’s war-era love triangle theme. These tracks will anchor the narrative’s heart, much like iconic sequences in 'Padmaavat' or 'Bajirao Mastani'.

Production amid delays

Shooting has faced hurdles, running about 40 days behind schedule. Bhansali asked the stars to clear their calendars through summer 2026 to wrap up. Early buzz pointed to a March release, but recent clarifications target August or September instead. This shift avoids clashes with big releases like Yash’s 'Toxic' and allows time for VFX and patchwork on the period drama.

Ranbir Kapoor's view on the impeccable journey

Ranbir Kapoor shared his excitement last year at a Mumbai meet and greet event, as per News18. He called working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali a dream, praising the director’s grasp of emotions, music, and Indian culture. Reuniting after 17 years in Black felt daunting yet rewarding.
