Sanjay Leela Bhansali is amongst essentially the most celebrated directors of Indian Film industry, whose cinema has stood the test of time. His next, Love And War is a casting coup of the last decade because the maverick filmmaker has brought Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal together for the primary time. Earlier within the week, there have been viral reports on how Love and War budget has shot as much as Rs. 425 crores, and the production has gone into turmoil.
SCOOP: Love & War REAL budget revealed; Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic costs Rs 350 cr, not Rs 425 cr.
Nevertheless, our reliable sources near the project confirm that Love And War is proceeding as planned. “Love And War budgets have shot up obviously, but it surely happens with all Sanjay Leela Bhansali movies. Initially, it was planned as a Rs. 250 crore epic, and the prices through the shoot have now shot as much as Rs. 350 crores. SLB doesn’t compromise on his vision, and he’s passionately filming this, which he believes might be his best work so far. The Rs. 425 crore figure of cost of production is attempting to harm the project on purpose, and there isn’t a truth to the claims,” a source shared with Bollywood Hungama.
The source told us further, “Unlike many high on VFX movies, Love And War is basically shot on sets, with recreation of the era passed by. This does not cost much. Anyone who understands filmmaking would say that the Rs. 425 crore budget is a bluff. But truth finds its way, and it’s for the people to know that Love And War is a Rs. 350 crore film, and the makers plan to splurge one other Rs. 30 crore on marketing, taking total landing cost to Rs. 380 crore.”
As for the discharge, Love And War will now be released in 2027, between the 2 Ramayana movies. The shoot will probably be wrapped up by June.
