The upcoming epic romance film Love and War, which Sanjay Leela Bhansali directs and which features Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal as its leads, has attracted attention because of both its star cast and its long production time. Social media posts recently increased tensions between Ranbir Kapoor and Bhansali because they claimed that current shooting delays resulted from their artistic disputes. Some online discussions show that Kapoor and Bhatt have different opinions about the director’s detailed working methods, which have delayed the film production. The project official team has not confirmed these unverified rumors, which continue to circulate.
Official Clarifications on Relationships and Schedule
The entertainment industry has denied the reports about conflict between the director and his cast members despite the online speculation about such tensions. The reports show that there is no confirmed conflict between Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The crew members who work on the project have maintained their dedication to the film while production delays occurred because of standard challenges that emerge during large film projects. The production team is currently finishing VFX work and specific scenes according to their updated timetable. The filmmakers plan to maintain their August 2026 release schedule because this date had been confirmed several months before.
Impact on Other Projects and Scheduling Issue
Industry reports indicate that Love and War requires additional shooting time because Bhansali needs more time to complete his detailed work and his complex musical arrangements. Ranbir Kapoor’s commitment to Ramayana has created scheduling problems for the actor. The movie’s 2026 release schedule has been determined through discussions about ideal release times and the distribution of its movie lineup.
The current rumors about the cast and director relationship will create uncertainty among fans who follow the show. Some social media users report that Vicky Kaushal has maintained a professional and composed demeanor throughout the production process.

Fan Theories and Online Rumors
Social media have started speculative stories that extended beyond the boundaries of official news reports. Fans and anonymous sources have reported that cast members and crew members experience conflicts because of their personal decision to observe others on the set and changes in the story and creative challenges. Industry experts from the field state that production teams require additional time for their work because large-scale projects face unpredictable challenges, which produce extra shooting requirements and longer wait times without showing any personal conflicts.
The Road Ahead for Love and War
The current theories about the situation exist as unproven hypotheses because the creators have not yet released their official statement. The project generates continuous attention because the delays either remain hidden operational problems or become recognized as essential components of the film’s epic production process. Bhansali and the cast need to make official announcements about complete production timelines and their artistic vision during the ongoing development of the project.
