Talking about the film, Ranbir previously told the media: “‘Love and War’ is something which is every actor’s dream, like to work with brilliant actors like Alia and Vicky, and to be directed under the master Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I worked with him 17 years ago.

"I haven’t met a human being who worked so hard, who understands characters, emotions, music, Indian culture, and the Indian value system as much as Sanjay Leela Bhansali. To be on his set is tiring, it is long, and the process can be a little daunting, but as an artist, it is satisfying because he nurtures art, and as actors, it’s truly amazing so far.”

“Being back on set with Sanjay sir (is) like he makes you feel that 100 per cent is just the beginning, you’ve to give way way more than that, and you want to because of how much he gives. Every scene is a key scene.

"So, no day on set is going to be like a chill day. You’re giving 100 percent but we’re having a great time. It’s a blessing to be working under his guidance, and to be working with Vicky and Ranbir, and to see them together, and all three of us, is all fascinating," added Alia Bhatt, who reunited with SLB after Gangubai Kathiawadi.

Billed as an "epic saga", Love & War is slated to be released in theatres in 2026. It marks the first collaboration between Vicky, Ranbir and Alia.
