Mumbai: Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has set January 21, 2027 as the theatrical release date for his upcoming romantic drama Love & War, bringing together Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles.

Bhansali Productions announced the date on Friday, April 17, 2026, sharing a photo of the director with the three actors on social media. The image featured Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and Ranbir Kapoor together, marking the first official ensemble visual from the project.

Love & War has been one of the most anticipated titles on Bhansali’s slate since it was first revealed.

It is the first time Vicky Kaushal will headline a Bhansali film.

While plot details remain under wraps, the project is described as a large-scale romantic drama, a genre Bhansali is known for through films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, and Bajirao Mastani. The casting of three leading actors has drawn strong attention from the industry and audiences.
