Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-awaited Love & War is reportedly set to release on August 14, 2026, coinciding with the Independence Day weekend, according to Variety. The new date, shifted from its earlier March 2026 schedule, is said to be a strategic move to maximise the extended holiday window. We have learnt that while nearly 125 days of filming are complete, a substantial portion remains to be shot, prompting the change. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, the team will next head to Italy to shoot the film’s climax.
