The excitement around Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War has climbed another notch with the unveiling of its second poster. Bhansali Productions shared the striking new glimpse featuring Ranbir Kapoor and announced the film’s worldwide theatrical release for January 21, 2027. Accompanied by the intriguing words, “Ishq bhi. Jung bhi,” the poster once again hints at a story where romance and conflict exist side by side. With Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal leading the cast, the film has already become one of the most anticipated Hindi releases of 2027.
The arrival of the second poster comes soon after the first look created considerable buzz online. While the earlier poster introduced Ranbir in an intense, battle-worn avatar, the latest artwork offers another dramatic glimpse of the actor’s character. The combination of Ranbir’s rugged appearance, vintage styling and Bhansali’s larger-than-life visual language adds to the mystery surrounding the film. The two posters arriving in quick succession have ensured that Love & War remains firmly in the spotlight even months before its theatrical release.
The film marks another major collaboration between Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ranbir Kapoor, nearly two decades after their previous association. Bhansali and Ranbir first worked together on Saawariya, and their reunion has naturally generated curiosity among cinema lovers. This time, however, the scale appears to be far more ambitious, with a narrative that blends love, war, passion and duty. The presence of Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal further expands the film’s ensemble, making the project one of the director’s biggest upcoming cinematic ventures.
Love & War is being positioned as a period romantic war drama, with its central story bringing together three characters against a backdrop of conflict and powerful emotions. Ranbir and Vicky are expected to be seen as Indian Air Force officers, while Alia’s character becomes an important part of the emotional conflict between love and duty. The film is written and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is known for creating visually rich worlds where music, romance, drama and spectacle come together on a grand canvas.
The latest poster also reinforces the film’s multilingual release strategy. Love & War will arrive worldwide on January 21, 2027, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, giving the highly anticipated project a broad theatrical reach. Bhansali Productions and Saregama are associated with the film, while Prerna Singh is also credited as part of the production team. With the release date locked and the promotional campaign beginning to take shape, each new glimpse is likely to fuel further curiosity about the characters and the story.
For now, the makers are revealing just enough to keep the mystery alive. “Ishq bhi. Jung bhi” captures the duality at the heart of Love & War, while the second poster gives audiences another powerful look at Ranbir Kapoor without revealing too much about the plot. With Bhansali at the helm and Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal sharing the screen, the film is gearing up for a major theatrical arrival. Love & War hits cinemas worldwide on January 21, 2027.
