Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt Visit Bhansali's Office; Update On Love And War Soon?
Reports suggest Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal will have an intense face-off in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is gearing up for his next magnum opus, Love & War. Touted as one of the most anticipated and ambitious films in Bollywood, the project brings together a stellar cast featuring Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, and Ranbir Kapoor in lead roles. With such powerhouse talent and Bhansali's signature style, the film is expected to be a cinematic spectacle.
Adding to the excitement, Ranbir and Alia were recently spotted outside Bhansali's office in Mumbai, sparking fresh buzz among fans who can't wait to see what's coming next. In the photos that surfaced on social media, the real-life couple was seen entering the Bhansali office. While Ranbir went straight inside the office, Alia paused and posed for the paparazzi. Check out the pictures here:
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 Mimics Ranbir Kapoor In Viral Video; Fans Dub Him 'Bollywood's Next Superstar'
Before stepping into films, Ahaan Panday had gained popularity on Dubsmash, where he recreated famous Bollywood scenes. Ahaan Panday is enjoying a dream start in Bollywood with his debut film Saiyaara turning out to be a blockbuster. The Mohit Suri directorial, co-starring Aneet Padda, has already smashed several box office records within days of its release. As the spotlight firmly rests on the industry's newest heartthrob, fans are drawing comparisons between Ahaan and Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor. Interestingly, this comparison isn't entirely new. Before stepping into films, Ahaan Panday had gained popularity on Dubsmash, where he recreated famous Bollywood scenes. Some of his most viral clips were inspired by Ranbir Kapoor's films. From mouthing the lyrics of Channa Mereya to dancing on Bachna Ae Haseeno and Dilliwaali Girlfriend, Ahaan seemed to be an unabashed Ranbir fan in those early videos. One clip even sees him performing the intense dialogue from Rockstar, and fans are now sharing these snippets on social media with the caption 'Ranbir 2.0". In fact, many netizens are convinced that Ahaan's screen presence and charm mirror a young Ranbir Kapoor. One user wrote, 'He's got the Ranbir vibe. Raw, emotional, effortless." Knew #AhaanPanday was destined for greatness when I found out he was a fan of #RanbirKapoor — RKᵃ (@seeuatthemovie) July 21, 2025 Another video that's gone viral again is Ahaan lip-syncing Shah Rukh Khan's iconic monologue from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. While some fans praised his performance, the clip had earlier been trolled when it surfaced two years ago on Reddit. However, the conversation around it has now shifted, with many admiring how far he has come from social media skits to big-screen success. In 2025, after three years of preparation and training under the Yash Raj Films banner, Ahaan finally made his acting debut. Saiyaara, produced by YRF and directed by Mohit Suri, has been met with immense love from the audience. The music, especially the title track, has contributed significantly to the film's appeal. As old videos of Ahaan flood social media once more, fans seem to agree on one thing, Bollywood has found its next big romantic hero. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Elizabeth Hurley stuns in Gaurav Gupta couture: A vintage glamour revival
Elizabeth Hurley embodies Old Hollywood glamour in a stunning Gaurav Gupta couture gown for Ellen von Unwerth's magazine. The moonstone ivory column dress, adorned with crystals and sequins, features long sleeves and a flowing trail. Hurley's minimal accessories and smoky eyes enhance the gown's drama, solidifying her status as a timeless icon. If you thought Old Hollywood glamour was a thing of the past, Elizabeth Hurley is here to prove you wrong and how. The Bedazzled star recently channelled full-blown vintage diva vibes in a breathtaking couture gown by Indian designer extraordinaire Gaurav Gupta , and honestly, it might be one of her most iconic looks yet. In a shoot for Ellen von Unwerth's magazine, Elizabeth slipped into what can only be described as a showstopper: a moonstone ivory column gown straight out of Gaurav Gupta's Autumn-Winter '24 couture collection. Think long sleeves, a sequin-drenched high neck, and a trail that flowed like liquid silver. Covered in shimmering crystals, sequins, and glitter, the gown was all drama - just the kind of drama we want at a photoshoot. Now, when your outfit's doing the most, the smart thing to do is pull back on the accessories and Liz did just that. No chunky jewellery, no over-the-top bling. Just a pair of delicate diamond earrings and a few elegant, stone-studded rings that nodded to the gown's opulence without competing with it. No necklace, no bracelets. Just pure, minimal class. Her makeup? Equally on point. Glowing skin, a soft matte base, and that perfect blush-contour combo that gave her cheeks a sculpted, rosy glow. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gentle Japanese hair growth method for men and women's scalp Hair's Rich Learn More Undo She went with a pink-tinted lip to brighten things up, while her smoky eyes with kohl, fluttery lashes, and a hint of silvery eyeshadow, added that retro femme fatale edge. Of course, no Gaurav Gupta look is complete without a little extra drama, and the white fur stole draped casually over her shoulders delivered just that. It added that final layer of luxe that made the whole look feel like it belonged on a red carpet or better yet, a classic black-and-white film set. If you know Gaurav Gupta, you know he's a master of sculptural silhouettes and experimental textures, and this gown was peak Gaurav. The metallic 3D embroidery, that signature 'crystal erosion' effect, and the fluid design gave the dress that futuristic-meets-classic vibe that's become his trademark. No wonder the designer captioned his Instagram post, 'Elizabeth Hurley wears Gaurav Gupta Couture for the Ellen Von Unwerth's Magazine issue. ' And it's not just Liz who's fallen for his magic. Gaurav's pieces have already graced the likes of Beyoncé, Cardi B, Lizzo, Jenna Ortega, Megan Thee Stallion, you name it. His designs have shown up at Cannes, the Grammys, the Met Gala… you get the idea. He's global. And seeing Elizabeth Hurley in one of his creations? It's the crossover we didn't know we needed. Elizabeth Hurley isn't just wearing a gown. She's wearing a story, one that blends classic Hollywood charm with bold Indian couture. And we are so here for it.

Sydney Sweeney Unrecognisable As Boxer Christy Martin In First Look From Biopic ‘Christy'
Last Updated: Sydney Sweeney transforms into boxing legend Christy Martin for her upcoming biopic 'Christy', set to premiere at TIFF 2025. Sydney Sweeney is stepping into the ring—literally—for her most dramatic transformation yet. The Euphoria star is all set to portray legendary boxer Christy Martin in the upcoming biopic Christy, and the first official photo from the film is already creating waves. The image, released by Black Bear Pictures on July 21, shows Sweeney looking nearly unrecognisable with Christy Martin's signature dark curls, a muscular frame, and a boxer's fierce intensity. Wearing red gloves, long tassel shorts, a white tank top, and a mouthguard, Sweeney channels Martin's gritty energy in a boxing ring. The film is set to premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this September. Sweeney, who is known for her long blonde locks and glamorous red carpet appearances, underwent a stunning physical transformation for the role. In a June 2025 interview with W Magazine, she revealed that she gained over 30 pounds and trained rigorously to match Martin's powerful physique. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour," she shared. 'My body was completely different. But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong." The biopic is directed by The King filmmaker David Michôd, who was reportedly stunned by Sweeney's commitment and transformation. Recalling a moment when he saw her again on the set of Euphoria season 3, he said, 'I was stunned by the change in her appearance. I had only seen her as an adorable, tough moppet with late-'80s hair, ready to box. Sydney was happiest when she was in the ring punching and being punched. It was shocking to see her being so glamorous." Sweeney first hinted at her role in Christy back in October 2024 by posting behind-the-scenes photos that showed off her bulked-up physique and ring training.
