February 25, 2025: Veteran filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali celebrated his birthday in style on Monday evening with a star-studded bash attended by close friends and several prominent members of the film industry.
Among the many celebrities spotted at the event were lovebirds Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, who looked effortlessly stylish as they arrived together at the venue.
The couple’s presence at the birthday party was especially significant as they are set to collaborate with Bhansali for his upcoming epic drama, Love and War, which also stars Vicky Kaushal. Love and War marks the first collaboration between Ranbir Kapoor and Bhansali since the actor’s 2007 debut in Saawariya. Alia Bhatt, on the other hand, previously worked with the director in the critically acclaimed 2022 film Gangubai Kathiawadi.
Vicky Kaushal, who is also part of Love and War, joined the celebration and mingled with other guests, adding to the excitement around the upcoming film. The film was officially announced in January 2024 with an Instagram post featuring signatures from the lead trio—Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal—along with the message, “We Bring You Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Epic Saga ‘Love & War.’ See You At The Movies.”
The highly anticipated film is expected to begin production in the coming months, and fans are eager to see Bhansali bring his signature epic storytelling to the screen with such a talented ensemble cast.
