As the title, Love & War suggests, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next is a love triangle set against the backdrop of war. Even though the characters Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal essay in the narrative come with their challenges, the filmmaker, who is set to begin filming later this year, was very particular about casting for the part that Ranbir Kapoor has signed up for. Apparently, it was only after watching Animal that the auteur decided to cast the actor for the complex role. Apparently, Ranbir will play an edgy and grey character in the film. Though heroic, the role has intense psychological undertones. Sources claim that several novel aspects about the subject, and the character and its treatment, appeared inviting enough for Ranbir to collaborate with Bhansali 16 years after Saawariya. The filmmaker is looking to release the period action drama around Christmas 2025. But first, the young superstar will act as Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayan trilogy.
