Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much-anticipated project, Love and War, has unveiled its star-studded cast, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. Bhansali Productions shared the exciting announcement on social media, confirming the epic saga's title and a scheduled release date of Christmas 2025. The official statement showcased the signatures of the three lead actors, generating widespread anticipation among fans.
Alia Bhatt, one of the protagonists in the film, shared the announcement poster on her Instagram, accompanied by a red heart in flames emoticon. Vicky Kaushal, another pivotal part of the cast, also took to Instagram to express his joy, describing the project as an "eternal cinema dream come true" with a red heart emoticon.
Fan reactions to the news were overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their excitement for the collaboration of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. Fans praised the stellar cast and eagerly anticipated the magic that Bhansali is known to create on screen.
This project marks the second collaboration between Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Alia Bhatt, following their successful venture with Gangubai Kathiawadi, which earned Bhatt a National Award for Best Actress. Additionally, it represents Ranbir Kapoor's second collaboration with Bhansali, his debut being in the director's 2007 film, Saawariya.
Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal have previously shared the screen in the film Raazi, while Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor collaborated in Brahmastra. Additionally, Kaushal and Kapoor have worked together on the film Sanju. The trio will be collaborating for the first time on any project. Recently, the trio was spotted together at the Ram Mandir consecration ceremony in Ayodhya, where they were accompanied by Katrina Kaif. Both couples were seen spending time together during the ceremony.
Love and War is set to be an epic cinematic experience, promising Bhansali's signature storytelling and grand visuals. While Love and War takes centre stage, it's worth noting that Bhansali had previously announced another project, Baiju Bawra, in 2019. Initially set to follow Gangubai Kathiawadi, the musical saga seems to have been temporarily shelved, making Love and War the focal point of Bhansali's upcoming directorial ventures.
