Alia Bhatt is now filming Love & War, which is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali starring Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor. The unconventional filmmaker, who plans to conclude the shoot by October 2025, was given more than 200 days by the actress. As per Pinkvilla, she is in negotiations for a feature film with National Award-Winning Director Nag Ashwin.
Sources close to the development claim that Nag Ashwin wants to helm a feature film starring Alia Bhatt before the next installment of Kalki 2898 AD. “The genre and other aspects are kept under wraps for now, but Nag Ashwin is in advanced talks to collaborate with Alia Bhatt on a subject that’s close to his heart. Alia too has loved the world that Nag is looking to create and the actress is excited to collaborate with the maverick filmmaker,” shared a source as reported by Pinkvilla.
“The dates are being sorted, as Alia wants to be 100 percent sure on the timelines of Love & War, before committing to another film from November. Nag wants to start his next from November and finish it in a certain timeline, as he also has Kalki 2898 AD slated to commence in the second half of 2026. The modalities, timelines, and other aspects are being figured out before the paperwork. Creatively, both the forces are on the same page, and it’s all about the logistics now,” the source mentioned.
Alia was close to signing a romantic film, Housewife, with filmmaker Abhishek Pathak earlier last year, but the project has since been shelved.
“Alia is now strongly considering Nag Ashwin as her follow-up to Love And War. If everything goes well, her next four films for the big screen will be Alpha, Love And War, a Nag Ashwin directorial, and Maddock Horror Comedy Universe film Chamunda,” the source wrapped up.
