Sanjay Leela Bhansali has always had a flair for the grand and the unconventional, and it looks like he is about to change the rules of the game once again with his upcoming project, Love and War. According to an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, the film—which features the powerhouse trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal—will not be starting its promotional journey with a typical teaser or a motion poster. Instead of the usual marketing route, the director is reportedly working on something far more ambitious. Bhansali is personally shaping a special promotional asset designed to be an immersive experience for the audience. This isn't just a standard clip or a still image; it is being crafted to serve as a proper introduction to the emotional depth and scale of the cinematic world he has built for this movie. The idea is to give fans a first glimpse that feels like a journey into the film's atmosphere rather than just a quick preview. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The project is currently in its final stages of development, with the filmmaker collaborating closely with his creative team to ensure the vision is perfect. The plan is to unveil this special asset sometime in August, which will mark the official start of the marketing campaign. By skipping the traditional teaser format, the aim is to create an event-like atmosphere that transports viewers straight into the essence of the story before they even see a full trailer. This strategy fits perfectly with Bhansali's philosophy that storytelling begins the moment a project is announced. He wants to capture the specific mood and scale of Love and War rather than just showing isolated character looks or a standard motion poster. Since this is the first time Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky are sharing the screen under his direction, the anticipation is already at a fever pitch, and this unique launch strategy is likely to amplify that buzz significantly. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Industry insiders are calling this a potential landmark in promotional history. It suggests that the movie is much more than a standard big-budget release; it is an experience that the director wants the audience to feel from the very first glimpse. If everything goes according to plan next month, fans will finally get their first taste of what is expected to be one of the biggest releases in the Hindi film industry in recent years.

Mumbai, July 29 - The cast of director Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana Part 1 is not only gearing up for one of the biggest Indian films ever made but is also preparing for an incredibly busy theatrical window. Several of the film's lead actors have two major releases within roughly three months, either before or after Ramayana Part 1, ensuring they remain in the spotlight throughout the festive season and into early 2027. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Lord Rama, will first headline Ramayana Part 1, slated for a grand Diwali 2026 release, before reuniting with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for Love & War, which is scheduled to hit theatres on January 21, 2027. The gap between the two releases is less than three months, giving the actor back-to-back event films in completely different genres. Yash, who essays Ravana in Ramayana, will kick off his theatrical run with the action thriller Toxic on August 26, 2026, which will be his first release in 4 years since the mega blockbuster KGF: Chapter 2. He will then return to the big screen during the Diwali season with Ramayana Part 1, making it two of the year's biggest pan-Indian releases within a short span. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Sunny Deol is also set for a packed release schedule. The actor will first arrive with the period drama Batwara 1947 on August 14, 2026, before portraying Hanuman in Ramayana Part 1 during Diwali. He also has the emotional drama, Gabru, ready for release. Similarly, Sai Pallavi will be seen in Dhanush-fronted OM Chapter 1 on October 16, 2026, followed shortly by her portrayal of Sita in Ramayana Part 1. With blockbuster titles such as Toxic, Batwara 1947, OM, Ramayana Part 1, and Love & War arriving within a compact three-month window, the ensemble cast of Ramayana is poised to dominate the box office conversation. It is rare for so many stars from a single film to have multiple high-profile theatrical releases clustered so closely together, making the final months of 2026 and the beginning of 2027 particularly significant for Indian cinema.

As the promotional cycle for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana Part 1 moves into high gear before its Diwali release, the industry is already turning its attention to Ranbir Kapoor's next massive theatrical outing. According to a report by Variety India, the production team behind Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War is currently finalizing the first official look of the film, which is expected to be unveiled in the coming months. This early reveal is intended to begin the long-term marketing journey for the project, which remains one of the most talked-about ensemble pieces in modern Hindi cinema. The decision to release the first official asset before Diwali 2026 is a calculated move to build anticipation well ahead of the film's scheduled release on January 21, 2027. While the production house has yet to lock in a specific date for this unveiling, sources indicate that fans can expect the official character posters or a teaser image in the next few weeks. This strategy allows the film to establish its presence in the audience's mind even as Ranbir Kapoor dominates the narrative with his portrayal in the Ramayana epic. During his recent interaction at the San Diego Comic-Con, Ranbir himself confirmed the status of both projects, noting that he is actively working on both Love & War and Ramayana to ensure they meet their respective timelines. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The casting of Love & War is a significant draw, bringing together the powerhouse trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. However, the rest of the supporting cast has been kept strictly under wraps by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his team. Despite several alleged first look photos and leaked images circulating on social media over the last few months, the makers have maintained a tight lid on the actual production designs. The official advice for audiences has been to disregard these unofficial leaks, as the upcoming character reveals are designed to offer the first authentic glimpse into the aesthetic and tone of the film. Billed as an intense romantic drama, Love & War is set against the sprawling backdrop of a military conflict. This combination of intimate emotional stakes and grand-scale military action is a hallmark of Bhansali's storytelling style. The project arrives at a time when all three lead actors are experiencing major career milestones. Alia Bhatt is coming off the release of her action-packed role in Alpha, which arrived in theaters earlier this July. Vicky Kaushal’s last major outing was the historical drama Chhaava, released in 2025, where he received critical acclaim for his portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor is preparing to lead the Diwali box office with Ramayana, which also stars Yash and Sai Pallavi. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With Bhansali at the helm and a cast of this caliber, the expectations for Love & War are high. The film's January 2027 release window provides a clear path for it to dominate the first quarter of that year. As the production enters its next phase, the official first look will serve as the primary confirmation of the film's visual direction, effectively ending the months of speculation and leaked rumors that have followed the project since its announcement.

The cult phenomenon Tumbbad is finally moving forward with its much-anticipated sequel, Tumbbad 2. Fans have waited years for official confirmation, and the makers have now locked the theatrical release for December 3, 2027. After a long pre-production phase that took over seven years to perfect the script, the cameras officially started rolling on April 7, 2026. The sequel aims to expand the dark, greed-driven mythology that made the 2018 original a landmark in Indian folk-horror, promising to dive deeper into the ancient curses that haunt the village of Tumbbad. In a significant casting move that has surprised the industry, Alia Bhatt has officially joined the crew. She has reportedly committed to a 20-day filming schedule for a character that is being described as the catalyst for a massive twist at the conclusion of the film. Most interestingly, her role is intended to act as a bridge that leads directly into Tumbbad 3, ensuring her presence in the franchise's future. For Alia, this choice comes at a strategic time in her career. Her recent ventures, the action-thriller Jigra and the YRF Spy Universe project Alpha, both underperformed at the box office. Jigra struggled to recover its investment, while Alpha faced a lukewarm reception compared to other films in that franchise. By stepping into a high-concept, critically acclaimed world like Tumbbad, Alia is balancing her experimental side with major commercial projects like Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, which is scheduled for release shortly after on January 21, 2027. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Joining the cast alongside Alia is veteran actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who has been signed to play a morally complex and central character. His inclusion adds a new layer of intensity to the film, especially when paired with Sohum Shah, who reprises his role as the anchor of the franchise. Sohum Shah has been the driving force behind the Tumbbad legacy, and his return ensures that the sequel remains deeply rooted in the original lore. The dynamic between Nawazuddin and Sohum is expected to be a major highlight, as both actors are known for their ability to portray gritty, grounded characters in atmospheric settings. The scale of Tumbbad 2 is a significant departure from the first installment. While the original was an underdog story, its recent theatrical re-release in 2024 earned an impressive 40 crore, proving there is a massive audience for this genre. This success has allowed the producers to skyrocket the budget for the sequel, which is now estimated to be between 100 crore and 150 crore. On the creative front, Adesh Prasad has taken over the director’s chair following the departure of Rahi Anil Barve. Prasad, who was the co-director and writer of the first film, is focusing on organic realism. To recreate the signature gloom of the franchise, the crew is purposefully filming during the natural Maharashtra monsoons to ensure authentic rain sequences rather than relying on artificial setups. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With the tagline #PralayAayega, the makers are signaling a much larger threat than what was seen in the first film. The combination of a significantly higher budget, a star-studded cast, and a commitment to the franchise's unique aesthetic suggests that Tumbbad 2 is being positioned as a mainstream blockbuster rather than just a cult favorite.

Rishab Shetty is currently at a peak in his career, especially after his National Award win for Kantara. If you have been following his upcoming line-up, it is clear that he is moving toward massive, high-budget epics. According to a report by Variety India, his highly anticipated historical project, The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has now seen a major change in its production strategy. Originally planned as a single film, the makers have decided to expand the story into a two-part theatrical saga. This expansion is not just about the length of the story but also the sheer scale of the production. Variety India has revealed that the film is being mounted on a massive budget of over ₹500 crore. This puts it among the most expensive historical dramas ever produced in Indian cinema. The vision behind splitting the film into two chapters is to capture the vast legacy and defining moments of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj with the detail they deserve. The current plan is to release the first chapter in 2028, with the second chapter following closely in 2029. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Director Sandeep Singh is aiming for a high level of authenticity, with a significant portion of the filming expected to take place across Maharashtra. This is where the Maratha kingdom was established, and the team wants to bring those historical sites to life on the big screen. However, fans will have to wait a bit longer for cameras to start rolling. Rishab Shetty is first expected to complete his work on Jai Hanuman, directed by Prashanth Varma, which is slated for a 2027 release. Once his commitments for that film are over, he will fully transition into the role of the legendary Maratha ruler. The scale of this project marks a significant moment for Hindi-language cinema as well, as it is being positioned as one of the most ambitious interpretations of Shivaji Maharaj's life. While the Maratha ruler has been the subject of many films over the years, the ₹500 crore budget and the two-part structure suggest that this version will be on a different level entirely. The first look of Rishab Shetty in this role has already created a lot of conversation online, and the official confirmation of this revised release strategy has only added to the anticipation. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Beyond the budget and the scale, there has also been a lot of discussion regarding a potential box office clash that has now been averted. Earlier reports suggested that the film might go head-to-head with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's highly anticipated Love and War. However, by moving the release of the first chapter to 2028, the makers have effectively avoided a massive confrontation. This shift is being seen as a calculated strategic move to ensure that both projects have enough breathing room at the box office. By choosing a solo window, the production team aims to maximize screen counts and audience reach, preventing two of Indian cinema’s biggest titles from eating into each other’s revenue. As of now, the technical crew and the rest of the supporting cast are yet to be officially announced. With Jai Hanuman in 2027 and the two parts of the Shivaji saga in 2028 and 2029, Rishab Shetty's schedule for the next few years is officially packed with some of the biggest films in the country.

The Indian film industry was bracing itself for one of the biggest box office face-offs in recent memory, but it looks like a major collision has been averted. We are talking about the upcoming historical epic, The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, starring Kantara fame Rishab Shetty. Reports are now circulating that the makers have decided to push back their release to avoid a direct confrontation with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's star-studded Love and War. This move is being viewed as a strategic decision to ensure both high-profile projects get the breathing room they deserve at the box office. The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is being mounted on a massive scale, marking the directorial debut of producer Sandeep Singh. To bring the 17th-century battle sequences to life, the production is reportedly utilizing international technical talent and heavy visual effects. The musical side of the project is equally ambitious, with Pritam composing the score and Prasoon Joshi handling the lyrics. With a supporting cast that includes Shefali Shah and Zanai Bhosle, the film is clearly aiming for a grand pan-Indian impact across multiple languages including Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, and Malayalam. While an official announcement is still awaited, the decision to postpone makes a lot of sense when you look at the calendars of the stars involved. Rishab Shetty is currently tied up with the highly anticipated Prasanth Varma's Jai Hanuman in the pipeline. Filming for the Shivaji biopic is expected to start in earnest only after he completes his prior commitments. By moving the date, the makers can ensure that Rishab is fully available for the demanding physical role of the legendary Maratha ruler. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the other side of the potential clash, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War is already eyeing the lucrative four-day Republic Day weekend in early 2027. That film carries immense weight with a lead cast featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. The industry is also mindful of the other major projects these actors have lined up. Ranbir Kapoor will be seen in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Part One in late 2026, while Vicky Kaushal is committed to Mahavatar. Spacing out these tentpole releases is a smart move for everyone involved, especially for a project as significant as a biopic on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. By reportedly opting out of the early 2027 slot, the makers of the Shivaji biopic are avoiding what could have been a catastrophic split in the pan-Indian audience. A historical epic of this magnitude requires a clear window to maximize its box office potential across all regions. While we wait for the new official release date, it is clear that the production team is prioritizing the quality of the film and a clean theatrical window over a rushed release.

Mumbai, April 30 - Bollywood's upcoming slate continues to get bigger and more ambitious, with two major projects starring Ranveer Singh and Vicky Kaushal making headlines for their scale, timelines, genre diversity, and other reasons. Pralay Begins In August 2026 After the historic success of Dhurandhar films, Ranveer Singh is set to headline the post-apocalyptic thriller Pralay, directed by Jai Mehta. Over the last few days, there have been rumours that Pralay has had a creative difference and might be pushed back indefinitely. But according to the latest report by Variety India, there is no truth in such rumours, and the project is on. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With a reported budget of three hundred crore rupees, Pralay is scheduled to go on floors by August this year. The production plans to merge physical sets with cutting-edge AI-driven visuals to create a dystopian atmosphere unlike anything seen in Indian cinema. South Indian actress Kalyani Priyadarshan has been finalised to make her Hindi film debut alongside Singh, marking a fresh pairing for this survival drama. Vicky Kaushal Blocks 18 Months For Mahavatar In a simultaneous move toward grand-scale storytelling, Vicky Kaushal has dedicated an eighteen-month window to the epic Mahavatar. Starting in June 2026, the actor will undergo a rigorous six-month preparation phase involving physical transformation and workshops to inhabit the role of the immortal sage-warrior Parashurama. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Once filming begins in January 2027, Kaushal intends to stay focused exclusively on this project until its completion in December. This level of commitment means he will not take on any other films during this period, ensuring total immersion in the character. This decision highlights a growing trend among top-tier actors to prioritise singular, high-impact performances over multiple concurrent shoots. Vicky Kaushal is expected to wrap his work on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War just in time to begin his intense prep for Mahavatar. Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh has reportedly moved away from the Don franchise to explore new genres, leaving a vacancy in that iconic series. As these stars lock in their schedules, the industry is clearly pivoting toward long-term investments in world-building and myth-making that seek to captivate global audiences.

Vicky Kaushal is currently navigating one of the most significant phases of his career, lining up back-to-back large-scale spectacles. Following the immense anticipation surrounding Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War, the actor is now gearing up for another ambitious project in the form of Maddock Films' upcoming mythological epic, Mahavatar. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film is set to see Vicky in a role that demands an unprecedented level of commitment and physical transformation. According to an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, the actor has blocked a total of 18 months exclusively for this project, signaling the massive scale and depth of the upcoming production. The timeline for Mahavatar begins immediately after Vicky concludes his work on Bhansali's Love and War. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, is preparing for a crucial 50-day schedule starting in May 2026. Bhansali aims to wrap the film by the end of June 2026, targeting a high-profile theatrical release on January 21, 2027. Once the cameras stop rolling for Love and War, Vicky is slated to dive straight into an intensive six-month preparatory module for Mahavatar starting in June 2026. This preparatory phase is designed to be a comprehensive training program. It includes a rigorous physical transformation aimed at bulking up the actor's physique to match the mythological scale of the character, alongside a series of acting workshops. Amar Kaushik has reportedly designed a detailed module that focuses not only on the physical aspects but also on the psychological and emotional journey of the character. This deep-dive preparation is essential as Vicky is set to portray Chiranjeevi Parashurama, a figure known for immense strength and spiritual depth in Indian history. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The actual filming of Mahavatar is slated to commence in January 2027. The production is looking at an extensive one-year shooting schedule that is expected to wrap up by December 2027. During this entire period, Vicky Kaushal has consciously decided not to take up any other professional assignments. By dedicating his full attention to Mahavatar, the actor aims to maintain consistency in his performance and look, treating the film as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. While there is a slight possibility of a small project being squeezed in before January 2027, it remains contingent on his prep timeline and physical state. The buzz around Mahavatar has been exceptionally high since the release of its first-look poster, which showcased a fierce and unrecognizable Vicky Kaushal as Parashurama. Coming from the stable of Maddock Films, which has recently found immense success with its supernatural and horror-comedy universe through films like Stree and Munjya, this foray into the mythological space represents a bold new direction for the studio and director Amar Kaushik. With Vicky’s total immersion into the role and the backing of a proven director-producer duo, Mahavatar is being positioned as one of the most significant cinematic events of 2027.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has signed Tamil superstar Dhanush for a large-scale mythological jungle drama, according to an exclusive report by Variety. The film will be produced under the Bhansali Productions banner with P.S. Mithran set to direct. Mithran, who is known for helming Tamil hits like Sardar and Irumbu Thirai, will make his Hindi cinema debut with this project. This collaboration brings together the cinematic scale of Bhansali with the performance caliber of Dhanush for an ambitious saga rooted in mythology. The project originated after initial plans for a Rowdy Rathore sequel between Mithran and Bhansali Productions did not materialize. Following several months of script refinement, the team settled on a mythological narrative set against a jungle backdrop. While Telugu star Ram Charan was reportedly in initial discussions for the lead role, the collaboration eventually moved toward Dhanush. For the actor, this marks his most expansive Bollywood venture following his successful track record with films like Raanjhanaa and Tere Ishk Mein. The filming for this untitled saga is scheduled to commence in early 2027. This timeline allows Dhanush to complete his extensive commitments in the South, which include Rajkumar Periyasamy's D55, a project with Mari Selvaraj, and the highly anticipated Vada Chennai 2. Meanwhile, the actor is also preparing for the immediate release of his period action thriller, Kara, which hits theaters this Friday. While there were earlier discussions regarding a biopic of APJ Abdul Kalam, the status of that production remains uncertain at this stage. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Sanjay Leela Bhansali is currently in the final stages of his most anticipated contemporary project, Love & War, which is officially set for a worldwide release on January 21, 2027. Positioned for the lucrative Republic Day holiday weekend, the film marks a massive reunion, bringing together Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. This project is a significant milestone as it reunites Ranbir with Bhansali eighteen years after his debut in Saawariya and follows Alia's successful stint in Gangubai Kathiawadi. Departing from his signature period epics, Bhansali has described this triangular love story as a contemporary film with no pillars, period costumes, or horses. Instead, the narrative reportedly features Ranbir and Vicky as Air Force officers caught in a conflict of love and duty. While trade speculation initially suggested it might be a remake of the 1964 classic Sangam, the filmmaker has clarified it is an original story that serves as an homage to that era of storytelling. The production of Love & War is nearing completion, with over 90% of the principal photography already finished as of April 2026. Alia Bhatt has reportedly wrapped her portions, while the leading men have undergone intense physical transformations; Ranbir shed 12 kgs and Vicky dropped 15 kgs to portray disciplined military officers. Despite its modern setting, the film remains a magnum opus featuring high-end VFX for its aerial and war sequences. The movie is planned for a pan-India release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, ensuring a massive footprint across the domestic box office. With Bhansali completing this schedule by mid-2026, the stage is set for him to transition into his mythological jungle drama with Dhanush by early 2027. Bhansali Productions is currently expanding its portfolio with several high-budget projects, including the Madhubala biopic starring Sara Arjun and the historical drama Jai Somnath, which is set against the events of 1025-1026 CE. The newly announced mythological drama with Dhanush adds another major prospect to the studio's 2027 calendar. This partnership aims to leverage Bhansali's production scale with Dhanush’s appeal across markets, making it a key theatrical title for the pan-India box office.

Mumbai, April 17 - Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor is currently going through what industry experts call the "Golden Phase" of his career. Following the historic box office success of Animal (2023), the actor has strategically chosen a lineup that balances grandeur with gritty action and high-concept drama. While it may have been over 2 years since Ranbir has had a release after Animal, the next few years will probably see at least one film of the actor hitting the big screens. Here is a deep dive into Ranbir Kapoor's films that will define Indian cinema over the next three years. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 1. Ramayana Parts 1 & 2 Director Nitesh Tiwari is currently helming what is arguably the most ambitious project in Indian cinematic history.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The scale of this production is unprecedented, and the makers gave a glimpse of that by launching the first look teaser recently, after earlier showing the vision. The ensemble cast is equally legendary, featuring Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman.

Love & War (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) In a massive casting coup, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has reunited Ranbir Kapoor with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal for a period romantic war drama, Love & War. This marks Ranbir's first collaboration with Bhansali since his debut in Saawariya (2007). Unlike Bhansali’s recent period pieces, this film is described as a "contemporary war-backed romance." With a release date locked for January 21, 2027, after being postponed multiple times, the film is expected to dominate the Republic Day holiday window with its blend of intense emotion and visual splendour. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 3.

The script is currently being finalised, with filming expected to commence once Vanga completes his project Spirit with superstar Prabhas.

Dhoom 4 Perhaps the most surprising addition to his roster is the reboot of the Dhoom franchise.

The film aims to modernise the heist-action genre for a global audience. The shooting timeline is yet unknown, but if all goes well, the film may hit the big screens in 2028. 5. Brahmāstra: Part Two – Dev (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Amid the uncertainty over its future, Ramayana producer Nitesh Tiwari recently confirmed that he will take care of Brahmastra 2 after Ramayana.
