Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma’s 2015 film ‘Bombay Velvet’ was a box-office disaster.
Directed and co-produced by Anurag Kashyap, the film revolves around an ordinary man who goes against all odds and forges his destiny to become a big shot.
Bhansali’s ‘Love & War’ was announced in January 2024.
The announcement post on Instagram read: “We Bring You Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Epic Saga ‘Love & War.’ See You At The Movies Christmas 2025.”
Later, the release date of the film was postponed to March 20. The film will now arrive in theatres during the festive week of Ramzan, Ram Navami and Gudi Padwa.
‘Love & War’ also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles.
