During a meet and greet with the media personnel in Mumbai, Ranbir Kapoor opened up about Love & War and working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He said that Love and War is something which is every actor’s dream, and to work with brilliant actors like Alia and Vicky, and to be directed by the master, Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
"I worked with him 17 years ago (his debut film, Saawariya). To work with him again, I can say this with so much of clarity that I haven’t met a human being who works so hard, who understands characters, emotions, music, Indian culture, Indian value system, as much as Sanjay Leela Bhansali."
Ranbir also said that the process can be a little daunting, but eventually, as an artist, it is so satisfying, as the filmmaker nurtures art.
Earlier, while talking about Love and War, SLB told The Hollywood Reporter India that unlike other films of its time, Love & War is truly unique. As per him, the film is modern, devoid of pillars, costumes, and horses. The music is unique, and the filmmaker is having fun with it.
