Helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali , the period war drama is easily one of the most anticipated films of 2027, since it marks his first directorial since Gangubai Kathiawadi. Following the first-look poster releases of actors Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt comes Vicky Kaushal’s first-look poster from Love & War.
For Ranbir, the film also marks a reunion with Bhansali almost two decades after Saawariya (2007), which marked his acting debut. Love & War has faced two changes to its release schedule and is now slated to arrive in theatres worldwide on January 21, 2027. Alia, meanwhile, gets a much more dramatic makeover. She is seen in a magenta-red outfit with an elaborate headpiece, giving the look of a cabaret performer. Dressed in a crop top and thigh-high slit skirt, she appears to be part of a dance sequence. However, the poster keeps her character and the context of the scene largely under wraps. Love & War brings Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal together as the lead trio, marking the first time the three actors have worked together in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. The film has been written by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ila Bedi Dutta and also features Supriya Pathak in a key role. The film will release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
