Vicky Kaushal is on a roll. The actor, known for his versatility, is all set for his upcoming release Chhaava. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film will see him in the powerful role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Fans are eagerly waiting to see him in this historical drama, which also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna. The film is scheduled to hit the big screen on February 14. But that’s not the only project keeping him busy.
After Chhaava, Vicky will dive straight into Love & War, a much-anticipated film by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The movie reunites him with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, and fans can’t keep calm. This marks the second time Vicky will share the screen with both actors—after Sanju with Ranbir and Raazi with Alia.
A Dream Come True for Vicky Kaushal
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Vicky opened up about working under the direction of Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He described it as a dream come true and admitted he has already learned so much from the ace filmmaker. Bhansali, known for his grand storytelling and stunning visuals, has previously delivered iconic films like Padmaavat, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and Bajirao Mastani. Now, with Love & War, expectations are sky-high.
While Vicky couldn’t reveal much about the plot, he did share how comfortable he feels working with Alia and Ranbir. “We have just started working on the film. I have great comfort working with Ranbir and Alia. This is my second film with both after Sanju and Raazi,” he said. He praised their talent, calling them easy to work with and fun on set.
Reuniting with Ranbir and Alia
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, who are one of Bollywood’s most loved real-life couples, will be seen together on screen again. Their last film together was Brahmāstra, which received a great response from fans. Adding Vicky Kaushal to this mix only increases the excitement for Love & War.
Ranbir has already showcased his acting chops in period films like Shamshera and Animal, while Alia has wowed audiences with her performance in Gangubai Kathiawadi. With Vicky joining them, the trio promises to deliver something special.
What’s Next?
For now, Vicky is gearing up for the release of Chhaava, and fans are eager to see him in this never-seen-before avatar. The film’s trailers have already created a buzz, and the anticipation is at an all-time high. As for Love & War, shooting has just begun, and more updates will likely follow in the coming months.
Vicky Kaushal is clearly having a fantastic run in Bollywood, and with these two massive projects, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for him. Stay tuned for more updates on Love & War and Chhaava!
