Love And War: Sanjay Leela Bhansali Eyeing Eid 2026 Release
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly anticipated film Love & War, starring Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal, has seen a strategic reshaping of its shooting schedule. Contrary to earlier reports suggesting the Italy schedule was cancelled, the production has been reorganised to balance actor availability while retaining the grandeur of the international locales.
Love And War to have Eid 2026 release
Bollywood Hungama quoted a source as saying, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali recreated 1970s Italy right here in Mumbai for Love & War. Around ten days of shoot were completed before Diwali, and the final 20-day schedule, featuring the film’s grand climax, is expected to take place by December 2025 in Italy. The team is eyeing an Eid 2026 release.”
The project initially faced logistical hurdles in executing a full 45-day shoot in Italy, prompting concerns over actor schedules and international travel complexities. To overcome these challenges, the production team opted for a two-pronged approach. The first phase involved filming in Mumbai, where meticulously designed sets recreated the Italian 1970s aesthetic, enabling the actors to complete critical sequences before Diwali. The final phase, including the film’s grand climax, is now slated for Italy by December 2025, ensuring the film retains its intended visual authenticity and scale.
Italy and Mumbai scheduling done to accommodate Alia, Ranbir, Vicky
This innovative scheduling allows multiple advantages. Shooting in Mumbai reduced logistical pressures and potential delays while accommodating the busy calendars of Bhatt, Kapoor, and Kaushal. The Italy shoot, meanwhile, promises the visual splendor and cinematic scope Bhansali is known for, ensuring audiences experience the full spectacle.
With the Eid 2026 release in sight, the production is navigating a careful balance between practical constraints and creative ambition. Bhansali’s decision to combine local sets with international filming highlights both his dedication to detail and adaptive approach to large-scale filmmaking.
