Here's What Sanjay Leela Bhansali Revealed About Love And War

According to him, Love and War will not be any costume drama. He expressed, “It’s a love story that I’m making after a long time. A slightly contemporary work, different from the dances, pillars, architecture, drapes, curtains, and jewellery [of Heeramandi]. It’s a new language, milieu, and ambience for me." 

He also revealed that Love and War is way different from his previous work. "I needed [it] very much to excite me as a filmmaker to do something new, to speak of a different period, a different set of characters, and new circumstances,” he further added.
