Bollywood’s power couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are back to setting the screen—and our social media feeds—on fire. This time, it’s for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama Love & War, which promises a cocktail of romance, history, and heartbreak. While the production team is playing peekaboo with their guarded looks, the paparazzi and fans are leaving no stone unturned to uncover every bit of this cinematic mystery.
On Wednesday, new pictures surfaced showing Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt rocking some seriously vintage vibes. Ranbir was spotted sporting a crisp white shirt, blue trousers, and a matching tie, with a slicked-back hairstyle and a dashing moustache—Air Force officer material straight out of the 1960s. The fan verdict? “Bombay Velvet 2.0,” with Reddit users drawing comparisons to his role in Anurag Kashyap’s 2015 film.
Alia, on the other hand, stunned in a white co-ord set, complete with a voluminous puffed hairdo that could make Jacqueline Kennedy proud. One fan quipped, “Alia looks classic, like a Bollywood Jackie O,” capturing the Love & War aesthetic in one swoon-worthy comment.
Adding to the allure of Love & War is its intriguing premise: a love story unfolding during a wartime backdrop. Early buzz likened it to Raj Kapoor’s Sangam, which featured a similar Air Force storyline. While Bhansali has dismissed remake rumors, the fact that portions of the film were shot at an airbase in Jodhpur hasn’t exactly squashed the speculation.
The film, also starring Vicky Kaushal, has been described as a love triangle of epic proportions—because what’s a Bhansali film without a healthy dose of drama? Scheduled for release on March 20, 2026, it promises grandeur, heartbreak, and possibly, a tragic ending (cue tissue boxes).
