According to eminent industry sources, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali recreated 1970s Italy right here in Mumbai.” love and warAbout ten days of shooting was completed before Diwali, and the final 20-day schedule featuring the film’s grand climax is expected to take place in Italy by December 2025. The team is eyeing an Eid 2026 release.

Initial reports suggested the complete cancellation of the Italy program due to logistical complications. But the revised strategy shows a different picture: the Italy-bound scenes began in Mumbai, with extensive sets recreating 1970s Italian landscapes in the city. After completing the first phase, preserving the intended location while accommodating the availability of actors, production will now move to Italy for the final climax.

Then, as the source indicates, the Italy segment will provide the scale, authenticity and grandeur that Bhansali’s canvases are comfortably considered for for an Eid 2026 release.

The complex shoot with lead stars including Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal was always under scrutiny. The film originally planned a 45-day schedule in Italy, but a modification was greenlighted when the location proved logistically complex. Now, the creative team is walking a smart middle path by anchoring the initial filming in Mumbai, then increasing the international component when the actors’ calendars align.

This change also shows Bhansal’s commitment to providing the grandeur and atmosphere for which his films are famous, by actually going on location for the climax, rather than settling solely on interior sets in Mumbai.

The upcoming Italy schedule is approximately 20 days, and its completion will likely set the stage for post-production to begin in earnest. Targeting an Eid 2026 release, the timeline aims to launch a grand celebration. It remains to be seen whether the film maintains its intended visual scale or not, but with Bhansali at the helm, expectations are high.
