Love & War marks the second collaboration of Bhansali and Bhatt after 2022’s Gangubai Kathiawadi.
This is Ranbir’s second collaboration with Bhansali after his debut with Saawariya in 2007.
Subhash K Jha reports that Ranbir, riding high on the success of Animal, has apparently hiked his fee from Rs 30 crore (Rs 300 million) to Rs 65 crore (Rs 650 million). But he has reportedly given his mentor Bhansali a substantial discount.
Love & War is set for release in theatres in Christmas 2025.
Expressing his happiness about the project, Vicky posted on his Instagram: ‘An eternal cinema dream has come true.’
