The makers of Love & War have unveiled the film’s first poster, offering fans a glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor in a striking vintage avatar. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial is among the most awaited upcoming Bollywood films, and the newly released look has added to the anticipation surrounding the project.
The official X account of Bhansali Productions shared the poster with the caption, “Woh rutba, woh raub, woh junoon! See you at the movies! Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War on 21st January 2027.”
Ranbir Kapoor’s First Look From Love & War
In the poster, Ranbir Kapoor can be seen behind the wheel of a vintage car, dressed in a white T-shirt and glasses and sporting a vintage watch. While his overall appearance carries an old-school charm, a bruised and bloodied hand adds a darker element to the look.
The detail has raised questions about his character and the circumstances surrounding the story, although the makers have not revealed further details about the plot through the poster.
