Fans of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-awaited period romance Love & War may finally get their first official glimpse of the lead stars next week. According to recent reports, the character posters of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal are set to be unveiled on August 15, coinciding with Independence Day.
The update, first reported by Bollywood Hungama and widely carried by other outlets, suggests that Bhansali is preparing to launch the promotional campaign for the film with individual first-look posters of the three protagonists. Sources indicate that the posters have already been locked, while the possibility of a motion poster or video announcement is still being explored.
Love & War marks the first on-screen collaboration between Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal under Bhansali’s direction. The filmmaker has kept the actors’ looks tightly under wraps throughout the lengthy production schedule, despite occasional set leaks. The film is currently in its final stages of shooting, with Vicky Kaushal reportedly having completed his portions, while Ranbir and Alia continue filming in August.
The grand period drama is scheduled for a theatrical release on Republic Day weekend in 2027 (January 21). The August 15 reveal is expected to mark the beginning of a high-profile promotional campaign leading up to the release. Bhansali is known for his lavish visual style and carefully timed first looks, and the Independence Day drop is likely to generate significant buzz. Until official confirmation from the makers, the reports remain speculative, but anticipation among fans is already high for what promises to be one of the most watched first-look reveals of the year.
