Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt has officially started filming for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-awaited film, Love and War. This news was confirmed by a source close to the project, who shared that Alia Bhatt began shooting in Mumbai on Tuesday.
The source also revealed that her first day of filming was focused on solo sequences, marking the beginning of her journey in the film.
According to the source, Bhatt’s filming schedule for Love and War will last until November 2025. During this time, she will not take on any other film projects. The source also mentioned that Alia Bhatt will begin shooting scenes alongside her co-stars, Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal, by the end of November.
These combination sequences will feature the three main actors in pivotal roles. In the film, Bhatt will portray a cabaret dancer, while Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal will play Indian Armed Forces officers.
Love and War is set to be a large-scale production with a star-studded cast.
While Alia, Ranbir and Vicky are the leads, there are also rumours of a major Bollywood superstar making a cameo appearance in the film, though these reports have not been officially confirmed yet.
The shooting for the film began on November 7 with Ranbir Kapoor, followed by Vicky Kaushal joining the sets on November 15. Now that Alia has started filming, all three lead actors have officially begun working on this highly anticipated Bhansali film.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali, known for his grand visual storytelling, has high expectations for Love and War.
The film is targeting a release during Eid 2026. Bhansali plans to complete the shooting by October 2025, leaving ample time for post-production work before the film hits theaters.
While Ranbir Kapoor will juggle his commitments to Ramayana alongside this project, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal have dedicated much of their schedules to Love and War. This will mark the first time that Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal will be working together on a film under Bhansali’s direction.
Fans are eagerly awaiting Love and War, not only because of the talented lead cast but also due to Bhansali’s reputation for creating visually stunning and emotionally engaging films. With a mix of romance, drama, and action, the film is expected to be one of the major releases of 2026.
