Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War is back in the news. Reports suggest that the shoot has been extended by nearly 50 days. Along with this update, several claims from the sets have surfaced on social media.
Some reports state that the delay has left Ranbir Kapoor unhappy about signing the film. It is also being claimed that SLB asked Alia Bhatt to convince him to continue. At present, Ranbir is managing commitments between Love & War and Ramayana.
A few sources further allege that Ranbir is not fully satisfied with his performance so far. An insider claimed that the usual cinematic strength associated with SLB appears missing this time. These remarks have added to the ongoing speculation.
Similar discussions are surrounding Vicky Kaushal as well. Reports suggest he is frustrated with repeated reshoots and schedule changes. The delays have reportedly affected his availability for other projects that have already gone on floors.
Amid the uncertainty, there is some positive buzz too. Vicky’s chemistry with Alia Bhatt is said to be working well on set. His performance is reportedly emerging as one of the strongest aspects of the film so far.
Trade experts believe actors often need patience when collaborating with SLB. However, online users have criticised the filmmaker’s perfection driven approach. Many feel that repeated delays are now testing audience patience.
Ranbir Kapoor’s fans have also shared their disappointment. They had expected two releases featuring the actor this year. With the extended shoot, lengthy post production and release date concerns, the wait may stretch into next year.
Meanwhile, Ramayana is confirmed for a Diwali release. Fans are eager to see Ranbir in the mythological epic. It remains to be seen whether the second part arrives next year or faces further changes similar to Love & War.
