It should be noted that the shooting of Love and War is currently underway in Mumbai. Reports suggest Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal will have an intense face-off in the film. However, the makers have not made any official statement regarding the film's development or plot as of now.
What Did Ranbir Singh Say About Reuniting With Bhansali?
Earlier this year, Ranbir talked about the project during a meet and greet event in Mumbai when he said, 'Love and War is something which is every actor's dream. To work with brilliant actors like Alia and Vicky and to be directed by the master – Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I worked with him 17 years ago. To work with him again, I can say this with so much of clarity that I haven't met a human being who works so hard, who understands characters, emotions, music, Indian culture, Indian value system, as much as Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Just to be on his set, it is tiring. It is long. The process can be a little daunting but eventually, as an artist, it is so satisfying. He really nurtures art. As actors, it's truly been amazing so far."
What Does Alia Bhatt Think About Her On-Screen Reunion With Ranbir Kapoor?
Last year, in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Alia Bhatt also talked about the film and her reunion with Ranbir when she said, 'I, as an audience, am more excited to see him [Bhansali] and Ranbir collaborate, again, after so many years. I am like, 'wow, what's that going to be like?" Talking about reuniting with Vicky Kaushal, Alia continued by saying, 'Vicky and I coming together again; Ranbir and Vicky created magic with Sanju. So, it is a lot of combinations."
Love and War is scheduled for release on March 20, 2026.

Ahaan Panday's original debut with YRF before Saiyaara was shelved, reveals Mohit Suri: ‘Vo bach gaya kyunki…'
The Saiyaara fever has gripped the nation, turning Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda into overnight sensations. In a recent chat with Komal Nahta, filmmaker Mohit Suri revealed that Ahaan was originally set to make his debut with a larger-than-life YRF film, which was eventually shelved. He also spoke about working closely with Ahaan for four months to help him appear more mature on screen. Mohit Suri reveals Ahaan Panday was supposed to make his debut with YRF before Covid. Ahaan Panday's debut with YRF was shelved Mohit Suri shared that both Ahaan and Aneet had their own unique journeys. He said, 'Ahaan has been doing acting workshops with YRF for the last seven years. Before COVID, Ahaan and YRF were planning a grand, larger-than-life film. But post-COVID, cinema changed, and the project was dropped. The same guy who was telling everyone about his big launch—his pride and confidence were completely shattered.' He added, 'People began asking him, 'Weren't you supposed to be launched by YRF? What happened now?' I just know that Aditya Chopra called him after COVID and told him, 'My faith in you hasn't diminished, but I won't mind if you start your career elsewhere.' But Ahaan responded, 'No, I'll be launched by YRF only.' Vo bach gaya. kyunki agar pehle launch hota toh bhut chota lagta (I think he was lucky—if he had debuted earlier, he would've come across as too young). I spent four months with him to make him appear more mature.' About Saiyaara The romantic musical drama tells the story of Krrish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a struggling musician chasing fame and fortune. He meets aspiring journalist Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), who eventually becomes his lyricist. As they fall in love, life throws challenges their way, testing their bond and resilience. The film struck a deep emotional chord with audiences and has emerged as the highest-grossing love story in Indian cinema, earning ₹413 crore worldwide.

Did you know Kiara Advani's roots go beyond Bollywood; actress has Scottish and Irish heritage
You may know her as the glamorous star of the upcoming film 'War 2', but Kiara Advani 's story goes far beyond her Bollywood stardom. Born Alia Advani, the actress carries a rich, multicultural legacy that blends both Indian and Western roots. While many fans associate her only with her Sindhi father's background, her mother, Genevieve Jaffrey, brings a unique mix of cultures to the table. Genevieve's father was from Lucknow, and her mother was of Scottish, Irish, Portuguese, and Spanish ancestry. A legacy tied to icons of Indian cinema Kiara's connection to cinema isn't just about the present, it's also deeply rooted in the past. Her maternal grandfather was the brother of veteran actor Sayeed Jaffrey, making him Kiara's great-granduncle. Additionally, her step-grandmother was Bharti, the daughter of screen legend Ashok Kumar . Despite these deep ties, she's carved her own path. All thanks to her talent, grace, and a firm hold on her own identity. Salman Khan : Mentor and family friend Adding another layer to her story is Kiara's longstanding bond with Salman Khan. Her mother and Salman reportedly grew up together in Bandra and have remained close ever since. Reportedly, it was none other than Bollywood's Bhaijaan, who suggested that she change her name from Alia to Kiara before her Bollywood debut, an advice she gladly took. 'There was already an Alia in the industry,' Kiara once said, referring to Alia Bhatt . That one change helped her stand out, and the rest is history. On the personal front, this will be the actress's first celebration as a mom. Kiara welcomed her first child, a baby girl on June 15, with husband Sidharth Malhotra . The couple announced the little one's arrival in a special post, but did not reveal her name. 'War 2' Trailer Sparks Fire: Hrithik Roars, Jr NTR Steals the Show, Kiara Advani Shines

Ahaan Panday Is 'Full Chapri', Says Saiyaara Director Mohit Suri: 'TikToker Hai Ladka'
Mohit Suri said that he couldn't tap the 'chapri' aspect of Ahaan Panday's personality in Saiyaara due to the story. Ahaan Panday is winning hearts since his Bollywood debut in Mohit Suri's Saiyaara. Amid the hype surrounding Ahaan Panday, Mohit Suri recently revealed that the actor has a 'chapri' side that went unexplored in Saiyaara due to the script's demands. In a conversation with Komal Nahta, Mohit Suri said that Ahaan Panday is a true 'TikToker' who 'dances for the front benchers' in Gaiety Galaxy. Mohit Suri said, 'He has a whole different side—the way he dances, he's a gallery man! He dances for the front benchers. Aapne woh videos dekhe nahi hai jo usne pull down kar diye. TikToker hai yeh ladka. Full chapri hai. He's a full, out-there, galleried, Gaiety Galaxy boy jo Bandra mein hai (You haven't seen the videos he deleted—this guy is a total TikToker! He's a loud, energetic, over-the-top Gaiety Galaxy boy from Bandra)." The filmmaker recalled an anecdote, 'Mujhe yaad hai, 30th day of shooting par, jab 50 per cent shoot ho chuki thi, he suddenly turns to our creative producer and says, 'Sumanna, maine kya kiya tha audition mein? Aisa toh koi audition diya hi nahi tha maine. Mujhe bola gaya tha, you are the right one (I remember on the 30th day of shooting, when half the film was done, he turned to our creative producer and said, 'Sumanna, what did I even do in the audition? I didn't give a big performance. I was just told I'm the right one)." Meanwhile, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara is showing no signs of slowing down. The romantic drama, directed by Mohit Suri, continues its triumphant box office run. Having crossed the Rs 200 crore mark in just nine days, Saiyaara is now eyeing the Rs 300 crore club—an impressive feat for a film led by newcomers. The film, which was released on July 18, 2025, started modestly but quickly gained momentum thanks to strong word-of-mouth and a deeply emotional storyline. It follows the journey of Krish Kapoor, a struggling musician, and Vaani Batra, a soulful poet, as they navigate themes of love, loss, and healing. The chemistry between Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has been widely praised, marking a successful debut for both actors. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
