Sanjay Leela Bhansali opened up about his upcoming film, Love & War and said that it is set in contemporary times with no pillars, costumes or horses. There were rumours online that said that the Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal starrer will be a remake of Raj Kapoor’s Sangam (1964). However, in a recent interview, Bhansali refuted these claims.
In an interaction with The Hollywood Reporter India, Bhansali said, “It’s (Love & War) not Sangam at all, with all my love for Raj Kapoor. You never re-make a great man, a great director’s classic. How do you re-make Mughal-E-Azam (1960) or Sangam or Pakeezah (1972). Heeramandi is a tribute to Pakeezah, it’s my love for Kamal Amrohi.”
