Fresh industry gossip has triggered speculation around an ambitious period romance film. The project is believed to be Love & War, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
According to reports from trade circles, the filmmaker is not fully satisfied with certain portions of the film. He is reportedly considering reshooting several scenes involving the male lead.
However, the situation has become complicated after the director recently fell unwell. Because of this, plans for reshooting the scenes have been delayed.
Sources claim the lead actor is not very comfortable with the idea of reshoots. He is said to be pushing for the film to move forward with the existing footage.
The actor reportedly wants the project to release before he begins work on another major film. Insiders say that scheduling conflicts have become a major concern.
Reports also suggest that the scenes being reconsidered required a major physical transformation. The actor had earlier undergone significant weight loss while preparing for the role.
At the same time, he was reportedly training for another demanding project. Managing both preparations at once is said to have taken a toll on his health.
The female lead is also facing scheduling challenges. The filmmaker reportedly wants to add more scenes featuring her character.
However, securing her dates has reportedly become difficult. Production sources say the film schedule has been complicated since the beginning.
Trade observers now believe the film could face further delays. Some insiders even suggest the project might struggle to release this year.
Industry speculation indicates a possible release window in mid 2027. If that happens, the film could arrive much later than expected.
Many believe the rumours relate to the upcoming film Love & War, which features Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal.
Fans are also linking the scheduling pressure to the actors’ other major projects. Ranbir Kapoor is reportedly preparing for Ramayana, while Vicky Kaushal is believed to be working on Mahavatar.
If these rumours prove accurate, one of Bhansali’s most awaited projects could face significant production challenges. For now, fans and industry watchers are waiting for official clarification.
