Alia Bhatt, who celebrated her 32nd birthday today alongside Ranbir Kapoor, gave fans a glimpse into her experience on the sets of Love and War during a media interaction. The couple, who share an undeniable chemistry on and off screen, spoke about their respective experiences in their current projects. Alia, who is working on the highly anticipated Sanjay Leela Bhansali film Love and War with Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor, shared how the shooting process has been both challenging and rewarding.
Alia opened up about the intense working schedule, revealing, "We are shooting a lot of nights right now. We shoot at night and are mum and dad in the day, so it’s a very interesting combination. Because we shoot at night, and the reason I mention that is because we shot Gangubai at night too. It really becomes like your own world — there’s no distraction, no noise, no sound... it’s just us."
She continued to describe her experience of working with the legendary Sanjay Leela Bhansali, emphasizing the dedication and effort he demands from his actors. "Every day we go to the set, we discuss the scene with Sanjay sir," she explained. "Being back on set with him is just magical. He makes you feel like when you come on set, 100 percent is just the beginning. You have to give way, way more than that, and you want to because of how much he gives. Discussing every scene... every scene is a key scene. So, you go there knowing no day on set is going to be like a chill day. You are there, giving your 100 percent."
Despite the intensity, Alia mentioned that the experience has been incredibly enjoyable. "But we are having a blast, we are having a great time," she said with a smile. "It is really just a blessing to be working under his guidance and to be working with Vicky and Ranbir. Seeing them both together and then all three of us… it’s very fascinating."
The film Love and War, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is generating a lot of buzz due to the star-studded cast and the filmmaker's signature style of grand storytelling. Alia's enthusiasm about working with her co-stars and Bhansali paints an exciting picture for what fans can expect from the film.
With Alia, Vicky, and Ranbir at the heart of this project, Love and War is undoubtedly a highly anticipated release, and Alia’s words have only amplified the excitement for the film's eventual release.
