Mumbai – After a series of conflicting reports, it’s now confirmed that Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-anticipated film Love & War will indeed head to Italy for its final schedule. Earlier rumours hinted at the cancellation of the film’s international leg, but sources close to the project reveal that Bhansali has only restructured the shooting plan — not scrapped it.
According to industry insiders, the filmmaker recreated 1970s Italy on massive Mumbai sets to complete about ten days of filming before Diwali. The final 20-day schedule, featuring the film’s grand climax, is now set to take place in Italy in December 2025. “Bhansali wanted to maintain authenticity while ensuring the shoot stayed on track despite the actors’ packed calendars. The team is targeting an Eid 2026 release,” shared a source familiar with the production. – Love & War Starring Ranbir Kapoor Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal
While the Italy schedule was initially postponed due to logistical hurdles, the revised plan allowed the team to first shoot portions in Mumbai that mirror the European setting. Once that phase wraps up, the crew will move to Italy to capture the film’s most crucial sequences on location — combining practical efficiency with Bhansali’s trademark grandeur.
This hybrid strategy offers a win-win scenario: Mumbai’s recreated landscapes helped minimize scheduling conflicts, while the Italy schedule will deliver the visual splendor and authenticity that define Bhansali’s cinematic world. – Love & War Starring Ranbir Kapoor Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal
Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, Love & War is among Bollywood’s most awaited films. The project originally planned a 45-day international shoot, but after adjustments, the focus has shifted to a 20-day Italian finale that will wrap up the film’s principal photography.
By returning to the European backdrop for the climax, Bhansali reaffirms his dedication to cinematic scale and visual poetry. Once the Italy schedule concludes, post-production is expected to begin immediately, keeping the film on track for its grand Eid 2026 release.
With Bhansali’s signature opulence and a star-studded cast leading the way, Love & War promises to be one of the biggest visual spectacles of 2026.
