Alia Bhatt unveils retro-inspired first look from Love & War
MUMBAI: Alia Bhatt’s first look from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film Love & War was unveiled on Friday, giving audiences the first glimpse of her character in the period drama.
The poster presents Bhatt in a retro-inspired setting, with dramatic styling, a prominent headpiece and an expressive look. The visual continues the film’s period aesthetic and follows the earlier release of Ranbir Kapoor’s character poster.
Love & War brings together Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in the lead roles. The film is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
The first look has generated attention for its styling and the visual treatment associated with Bhansali’s cinema. Bhatt’s character is presented against a richly designed backdrop, with the costume and overall appearance reflecting the film’s period setting.
The film is scheduled for worldwide release on January 21, 2027, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
The release of the character posters is part of the film’s promotional campaign ahead of its theatrical debut. The makers had first introduced Ranbir Kapoor’s look before revealing Bhatt’s appearance.
With the three leading actors coming together for the first time in this combination under Bhansali’s direction, the film has become one of the major upcoming Bollywood productions.
The latest poster gives viewers an early indication of the film’s visual style while keeping details about Bhatt’s character largely under wraps.
