What Alia said

“There are so many levels to look forward to that I am not sure which one to choose. First and foremost, the joy and honour of working with Sanjay sir once again. Under his guidance and his gaze… you can go anywhere with him. His attention to detail and his attention to you. I, as an audience, am so excited to see him and Ranbir working together again after so many years. I think, ‘Wow, how this is going to be!’ And then there is Vicky (Kaushal) and I coming together again. Ranbir and Vicky again… they created magic with Sanju. Lots of combinations. But of course, the trick at the end of the day is to keep your head down and work and not let the other excitement get in the way. The excitement for the film and the material is what matters most,” Alia said.

About Love & War

Love & War is slated to release in 2025 and will reunite Ranbir and Alia after Ayan Mukerji’s 2022 fantasy film Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva. Alia and Vicky Kaushal will reunite after Meghna Gulzar’s 2018 coming-of-age spy film Raazi, and Ranbir and Vicky after Rajkumar Hirani’s 2018 blockbuster Sanju. Alia will also reunite with Bhansali after their 2022 hit Gangubai Kathiawadi.

Ranbir began his career as an assistant director to Bhansali on the sets of his 2005 film Black, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji. Interestingly, Alia also auditioned for the role of the young protagonist, but ultimately, German actress Ayesha Kapur bagged the role. Ranbir then made his acting debut in Bhansali’s 2007 directorial Saawariya opposite Sonam Kapoor.

Alia will also be seen in Jigra and an untitled film from YRF Spy Universe, while Ranbir will play Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwari’s adaptation of Ramayana.
