The wait is finally over for fans of Ranbir Kapoor. The makers of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-awaited period drama Love & War have unveiled the actor’s first look from the film, giving fans their first glimpse of his character.
The first-look poster has already created a buzz online, with Ranbir seen in a completely different avatar. The actor is shown driving a vintage car while wearing a simple white T-shirt and glasses, along with a short buzz cut. However, it is not just his appearance that has caught everyone’s attention.
One detail in the poster immediately stands out — Ranbir’s hand gripping the steering wheel, while the other hand appears to be covered in blood. The intense image hints at the darker and more serious world of the film.
The official Instagram handle of Bhansali Productions shared the poster with the caption, “Woh rutba, woh raub, woh junoon.” The dramatic tagline has only added to the curiosity surrounding Ranbir’s character and his role in the highly anticipated film.

What Is Love & War About?
The makers have kept the story of Love & War largely under wraps. However, the film has been described as a period romantic war drama.
Reports have suggested that Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal will play Indian Air Force officers whose lives become connected with Alia Bhatt’s character. Their personal relationships are expected to unfold against the backdrop of war, with a complicated love triangle at the centre of the story.
The film has been written by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Luv Ranjan, and also features Supriya Pathak in a key role.
Ranbir, Alia and Vicky’s Much-Awaited Collaboration
The combination of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal has been one of the biggest reasons behind the excitement around Love & War. With Bhansali directing the film, expectations are naturally high.
Ranbir and Alia are also coming together again on screen after their previous collaborations, while Vicky adds another major star to the cast. The trio will be seen in a story that combines romance, ambition, conflict and war.
The film began production with multiple shooting schedules, with the team filming across different locations. After several schedules, the makers have now entered the final stages of production.
Will Love & War Create Magic on the Big Screen?
With Ranbir’s first look now out, fans have received the first real glimpse of the world Bhansali is creating. The intense expression, vintage car, period styling and blood-stained hand have already raised several questions about his character.
Whether Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal can create the magic audiences are expecting remains to be seen. But with Sanjay Leela Bhansali at the helm, Love & War is certainly shaping up to be one of the most awaited films of its release period.
The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on January 21, 2027, and fans will now be waiting to see what the three actors bring to the big screen.
