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.

He said, "It’s nice to work with this wonderful cast of Ranbir, Vicky, and Alia. It’ll be nice to see how their chemistry works. And [it is] a triangular love story, which has not come in Hindi cinema for a long time. So let’s see how it all shapes up.” The film will release in theaters on Christmas 2025.
