Vicky Kaushal has opened up about working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in his upcoming movie, Love and War. The film, which is a triangle set against the brutality of war, also stars Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor in the lead.
In a recent interview, the actor expressed excitement for being a part of the Bhansali directorial and called it ‘incredible’.
“He has such a distinct cinematic voice. I’m learning by just watching him work. The way he designs a frame, the way he collaborates with actors, camera, sets, costumes…it’s incredible,” Vicky told GQ India.
When Ranbir Kapoor Opened Up On Love And War
Earlier this year, Ranbir Kapoor also talked about the project during a meet and greet event in Mumbai when he said, “Love and War is something which is every actor’s dream. To work with brilliant actors like Alia and Vicky and to be directed by the master – Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I worked with him 17 years ago. To work with him again, I can say this with so much of clarity that I haven’t met a human being who works so hard, who understands characters, emotions, music, Indian culture, Indian value system, as much as Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Just to be on his set, it is tiring. It is long. The process can be a little daunting but eventually, as an artist, it is so satisfying. He really nurtures art. As actors, it’s truly been amazing so far.”
Alia Bhatt ‘Excited’ For Love And War
Last year, in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Alia Bhatt also talked about the film and her reunion with Ranbir when she said, “I, as an audience, am more excited to see him [Bhansali] and Ranbir collaborate, again, after so many years. I am like, ‘wow, what’s that going to be like?” Talking about reuniting with Vicky Kaushal, Alia continued by saying, “Vicky and I coming together again; Ranbir and Vicky created magic with Sanju. So, it is a lot of combinations.”
Reportedly, the makers of Love and War are planning to unveil the first glimpse of the film in January 2026.
