About Love & War

Love & War is said to be a romantic drama set in the 1960s and 70s, during a time of conflict. Some reports suggest it might be a remake of the classic film Sangam (1964), starring Raj Kapoor, Vyjayanthimala, and Rajendra Kumar. However, Bhansali has denied those claims.

Parts of the movie were filmed at an air base in Jodhpur, adding to the speculation, since Sangam also featured Indian Air Force pilots. The film was officially announced in January 2024 and is scheduled for release on March 20, 2026.
