SCOOP: Not cancelled! Love & War Italy | Indian Movie News
In what marks a putting manufacturing shift for one of Bollywood’s most formidable tasks, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War has re-mapped its taking pictures strategy. Although earlier reviews famous that the movie’s worldwide schedule in Italy had been cancelled, insiders make clear that the shoot was not cancelled, but fairly reshaped to accommodate actor schedules with about ten days of filming in Mumbai and the grand finale now set to be shot in Italy by December 2025.
According to well-placed industry sources, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali recreated 1970s Italy right here in Mumbai for Love & War. Around ten days of shoot were completed before Diwali, and the final 20-day schedule, featuring the film’s grand climax, is expected to take place by December 2025 in Italy. The team is eyeing an Eid 2026 release.”
Initial reviews advised a full cancellation of the Italy schedule due to logistical complexities. But the revised strategy exhibits a different image: those Italy-bound scenes started in Mumbai, with intensive units recreating Seventies Italian landscapes in town. After finishing the first part, the manufacturing will now transfer to Italy for the ultimate climax preserving the meant locale while accommodating the actors’ availability.
This two-pronged strategy affords a number of good points. Mumbai filming minimised schedule clashes and logistical overheads at a time when worldwide journey is more advanced. Then, the Italy section will present the size, authenticity, and grandeur that Bhansali’s canvases are identified for snug for an Eid 2026 release, as the source signifies.
With major stars on board including Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal the advanced shoot was always under scrutiny. The movie had initially deliberate a 45-day schedule in Italy, but revision was flagged when the situation proved logistically advanced. Now, the artistic group appears to be strolling a sensible center path anchoring early filming in Mumbai, then scaling up the worldwide part when the actors’ calendars align.
The shift also suggests Bhansali’s dedication to delivering the opulence and environment his movies are famed for by really going to the situation for the climax, instead of totally settling into inside units in Mumbai.
The upcoming Italy schedule is pegged at around 20 days, and its completion will doubtless set the stage for post-production to start in earnest. With an Eid 2026 release focused, the timeline goals for a grand festive launch. Whether the movie retains all its meant visible scale stays to be seen but with Bhansali at the helm, expectations are high.
