Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor recently opened up about his admiration for filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali while speaking with fans during an Instagram Live session celebrating his brand anniversary — offering insights into his current work, including the highly anticipated romantic drama Love & War. In the candid interaction, Ranbir spoke at length about his film slate and described his ongoing collaboration with Bhansali as an “amazing experience,” reinforcing his respect for the director’s craft and vision.

Ranbir, who first worked with Bhansali on his debut film Saawariya nearly two decades ago, said it “blows my mind that a director for four decades is best at what he does,” acknowledging Bhansali’s enduring mastery of cinema. He emphasised that working with a filmmaker of Bhansali’s stature — who shaped his early career and continues to push cinematic boundaries — has been special and creatively fulfilling.

Speaking about the film, Ranbir said he has been putting in significant effort for the projects he is currently involved in, particularly Love & War, which he called an “amazing experience.”

“I have been working very hard on the projects that I’m a part of. Love & War has been such an amazing experience. Working with Bhansali again who just blows my mind. A director who is just the best in the last four decades. It would be really special. You will get updates very soon,” Ranbir shared during the session.

During the session, Ranbir also addressed updates on Love & War, a much‑anticipated project directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and starring a powerhouse trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. Originally expected to release earlier, the film’s timeline has shifted due to its ambitious scale and intricate production design. Ranbir confirmed that Love & War will now arrive after his next release Ramayana: Part One, which is slated for a Diwali 2026 debut, and reassured fans that the team is dedicated to delivering a visually rich and artistically impactful experience.
