Love & War: Bhansali’s film with Ranbir, Alia, Vicky set for Jan 21, 2027 release

Mumbai/IBNS: Eminent filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film Love & War is set to hit theatres on January 21, 2027, the makers announced on Friday.

Release Date Announced

Bhansali Productions unveiled the film’s release date on social media, building anticipation around the much-awaited project.

Star-Studded Cast

Helmed by Bhansali, the film features Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in the lead roles.

It marks Bhansali’s reunion with Ranbir Kapoor after Saawariya (2007), and his first collaboration with Vicky Kaushal.

Bhansali had worked with Alia in the 2022 massively hit film Gangubai Kathiawadi.

The film also reunites Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal after their 2018 hit Raazi.

Plot and Setting

Set against a contemporary wartime backdrop, the story revolves around two Indian Armed Forces officers.

Ranbir Kapoor’s character is portrayed as dark and aggressive, while Vicky Kaushal’s role is calm yet strong-willed, creating a tense rivalry between the two.

Not a Remake

Amid speculation, Bhansali has clarified that Love & War is not a remake of the 1964 classic Sangam.

Instead, it is a contemporary, emotionally rich narrative crafted with his signature storytelling style.
