Sanjay Leela Bhansali to Release 'Love & War' First Look on September 28!

Thursday Aug 07, 2025

The excitement surrounding Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, 'Love & War,' has reached a fever pitch. While the film's release is set for August 14, 2026, fans may not have to wait that long for a glimpse of the grand cinematic spectacle. According to exclusive reports, the film's makers are planning a special treat for fans, with the first look expected to be unveiled on Ranbir Kapoor's birthday, September 28, 2025.

 

 

A Gift for Ranbir Kapoor's Birthday

 

Ranbir Kapoor, who plays a pivotal role in the film alongside Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, celebrates his birthday on September 28. Sources close to the production have revealed that Sanjay Leela Bhansali, known for his meticulous and grand vision, wants to celebrate the occasion with a "gift for Ranbir's fans." The team is reportedly in the process of finalizing whether the reveal will be a solo first-look poster of Ranbir or a teaser featuring all three lead actors.

 

This strategic move aligns with the trend of major film announcements and glimpses being timed with star birthdays to maximize fan engagement and social media buzz. The first look would serve as a powerful teaser for the ambitious romantic drama, which promises to be a departure from Bhansali's recent works.

 

 

The Dream Team: Bhansali, Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky

 

"Love & War" is one of 2026's most anticipated films, and for good reason. It marks a long-awaited reunion between Bhansali and Ranbir Kapoor, who famously launched Ranbir's career in "Saawariya" (2007). For Alia Bhatt, it's her second collaboration with the filmmaker after her National Award-winning performance in "Gangubai Kathiawadi." The film will be a first for Vicky Kaushal with Bhansali, a pairing that has audiences excited to see the talented actor in a new light.

 

The film's plot is shrouded in mystery, but it is reportedly a passionate love triangle set against a wartime backdrop. Production is currently underway in Mumbai, and the team is reportedly working on a special shoot for the teaser to be released on Ranbir's birthday.

 

 

A Long-Awaited Reunion

 

The film's announcement also generated significant buzz for another reason: it brings together Aamir Khan's nephew Imran Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's cousin Mansoor Khan as co-producers for a film after a 17-year hiatus. However, this is for a different film titled "Ek Din". "Love & War" is a solo production of Bhansali.

 

As the countdown to Ranbir Kapoor's birthday begins, the anticipation for "Love & War" is building. While we await official confirmation of the September 28 reveal, one thing is certain: a first look from a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film is always a cinematic event in itself, and this one, featuring three of the industry's most talented stars, promises to be nothing short of spectacular.
