Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-anticipated film Love & War, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, is progressing as planned, putting to rest rumours of a delay and alleged tensions among the lead actors.
According to a report by Mid-Day, sources close to the production have clarified that the current pause in filming is part of a pre-planned year-end break that was locked months in advance. “Bhansali films are mounted on a massive scale, so any pause is immediately seen as a delay,” a source from the film’s production team said, adding that the schedule remains intact.
An insider familiar with the shoot revealed that the remaining work will involve patchwork, visual effects, select scenes and musical portions. Since Love & War is a period film, extensive VFX and post-production work are being carried out simultaneously.
Addressing rumours of a fallout between Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, the source dismissed the speculation outright. “There’s been no fallout. These are long, demanding shoots. Ranbir, Alia and Vicky are fully on board and committed,” the insider said.
The team is expected to resume shooting by mid-January and continue until March, with post-production running in parallel. With the film progressing steadily, Love & War remains one of the most awaited releases of the year.
