Additionally, the film features Vicky Kaushal, who has previously worked with Alia in Raazi and with Ranbir in Sanju.
While Love And War is scheduled to release on 20 March, Shah Rukh Khan’s, “King” on the other hand, is expected to hit the theatres on 19 March 2026. Both films have been strategically timed to capitalize on the holiday season.
