BREAKING: Love & War to release in IMAX; Sanjay Leela Bhansali returns to the format 9 years after Padmaavat

The period drama will open in three languages and follows a poster rollout that has already drawn strong online reactions.

  • Bhansali Productions unveiled first-look posters for Love & War over three days, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. One fan wrote, "This character already feels ICONIC!!!"
  • The romantic war drama is scheduled for worldwide theatrical release on January 21, 2027, mounted on a reported budget of Rs 425 crore. Production details remained largely under wraps since the 2024 announcement.
  • Posters reveal distinct visual worlds: Kapoor appears in a vintage car with a bullet wound, Bhatt in a cabaret-inspired red ensemble, and Kaushal lighting a cigarette with a rugged look. Each introduces a different character dimension.
  • Celebrities and audiences praised the reveals, with Hrithik Roshan writing, "Kya baat hai." The casting reunites Kapoor and Bhatt with Bhansali while marking Kaushal's first collaboration with the filmmaker.
  • Social media users noted stylistic parallels between Love & War and the 1964 classic Sangam, though makers have not confirmed any direct inspiration. The project entered post-production for its January 2027 release.
