The excitement around Love & War, directed by the visionary Sanjay Leela Bhansali, just got bigger! After initial delays, the highly anticipated action-romantic drama starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal is now eyeing a spectacular release on 14 August 2026, just ahead of India’s Independence Day.
Delay Turns into a Perfect Opportunity
Earlier slated for a March 2026 release, Love & War faced a 3-month shooting delay due to budget clearance issues. Consequently, the makers decided to shift the release window. A trade source revealed that with the Eid 2026 slot no longer viable, the Independence Day weekend emerged as the best alternative, aligning beautifully with the film’s intense and patriotic undertones.
