Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film Love & War is set to redefine Bollywood’s boundaries with its ambitious pan-India release strategy.
Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, this romantic drama combines Bhansali’s signature grandeur with the box office power of its stellar cast.

The stakes for Love & War are monumental, with insiders revealing that the film must achieve a minimum worldwide business of Rs 1000 crores to justify its hype and casting.
Bhansali’s last collaboration with Alia Bhatt, Gangubai Kathiawadi, was a blockbuster that cemented her position as a box office superstar. For Alia, this film is an opportunity to regain momentum after the underwhelming performance of Jigra. Her chemistry with Ranbir and Vicky—both giving superhits recently—augments the film’s popularity.

With each of the three performers established as a bankable star, their joined presence increases anticipation for Love & War.
