Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War, take a look:
A source close to the development informed Pinkvilla, "Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been fascinated to make a pure love story that stands the test of time, and this one falls right in the zone. It's a timeless love story with three principal characters played by Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky. The Maverick filmmaker is looking to take the film on floors around November 2024 with a marathon schedule. The yet-to-be-titled film is an original love story set against the backdrop of war. It's an homage by SLB to the 1964 classic Sangam, directed by Raj Kapoor."
Talking about the trio of Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal teaming up, the source added, "It's a great story that got all three stalwarts excited. It's a casting coup pulled off by SLB in such a short span, and that's purely based on the power of his screenplay. Rarely are 4 of the top names from the fraternity excited by the same subject and it has happened this time with SLB, Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky signing on the project."
