Bhansali Productions has officially released the striking first-look poster for Vicky Kaushal from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly anticipated upcoming period drama Love & War, showcasing the actor in a remarkably intense and charismatic avatar that immediately captured the attention of movie enthusiasts. Released on Saturday, the dramatic poster features Kaushal sporting a thick mustache, a prominent scar on his forehead, and a cigarette between his lips with a lighter in hand, his piercing gaze and brooding expression perfectly enhanced by deep green and golden tones paired with curling smoke. Accompanying the reveal was an exciting caption on social media declaring that the film will hit theaters on January 21, 2027, following a series of schedule shifts from its original Christmas 2025 and subsequent March 2026 release dates. Billed as an epic saga set against the turbulent backdrop of war, the romantic period drama boasts a stellar star-studded cast that also includes Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, marking Kaushal’s very first creative collaboration with the acclaimed filmmaker. For Ranbir, the project signifies a nostalgic reunion with Bhansali nearly two decades after his grand cinematic debut in 2007’s Saawariya, whereas Alia previously teamed up with the director for her 2022 National Award-winning masterpiece Gangubai Kathiawadi. Later the same day, the production banner unveiled a second captivating poster featuring Kaushal waist-deep in a pool, dressed in a sleek black shirt and holding a large bouquet of white flowers close to his face while staring intently into the camera against a vintage-inspired setting. Both leading actors and the filmmaker come into this project fresh off major professional milestones, with Kaushal recently starring in Laxman Utekar’s historical biopic Chhaava, Ranbir preparing for Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming two-part Ramayana and Animal Park, and Alia having recently wrapped up work on the spy thriller Alpha. As anticipation mounts for this grand theatrical spectacle, these compelling character glimpses offer a tantalizing preview of the rich visual storytelling, dramatic depth, and signature aesthetic grandeur that audiences have come to expect from a Sanjay Leela Bhansali cinematic experience.
