Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming magnum opus, Love and War, is shaping up to be one of Bollywood’s biggest cinematic events of 2026. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles, the film is being mounted on a massive scale with grand sets, intense drama, and global locations.

After the buzz around its emotional climax, fresh reports suggest that Bhansali is preparing an epic high-octane fight sequence between Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal—a cinematic clash that could become one of the highlights of the film.

Ranbir vs Vicky: A Clash of Titans

According to industry sources, both Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal are training rigorously for the action-heavy sequence in Love and War. Known for his larger-than-life storytelling, Bhansali reportedly wants this face-off to be one of the most dramatic and visually striking moments of the film.

The team has chalked out a grand plan to shoot the sequence in Sicily, Italy, where an entire road will be blocked to create a massive battlefield-like setup. This will mark Bhansali’s first international outdoor shoot since Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, raising the scale of anticipation even higher.

Bhansali Takes Bollywood Global

The filmmaker has already wrapped up around 125 days of shoot in India, which included elaborate sets in Mumbai. Now, the crew is heading overseas for the final international schedule.

The climax of Love and War will be shot across multiple iconic locations in Sicily. Along with the intense fight between Ranbir and Vicky, the director also plans to film a grand song featuring all three leads – Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky. The schedule in Italy is expected to last about a month, making it one of the most ambitious shoots of Bhansali’s career.

Climax Loaded with Romance and Drama

As with all Bhansali films, emotions and drama will take center stage. The climax is said to blend romance, conflict, and high drama, staying true to Bhansali’s signature style of creating unforgettable cinematic moments. Industry insiders suggest that this sequence could become as iconic as the filmmaker’s earlier climaxes in films like Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat.

Release Date and Expectations

With its stellar cast, international shoot, and Bhansali’s trademark grandeur, Love and War has already become one of the most awaited films of 2026. The movie is scheduled to release in March next year, and fans are eagerly waiting to witness the explosive combination of Ranbir Kapoor’s intensity, Vicky Kaushal’s raw power, and Alia Bhatt’s emotional depth on the big screen.
