Mumbai, August 7, 2025 — Acclaimed filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is set to thrill fans of Ranbir Kapoor with the release of the first visual asset from his upcoming romantic drama Love & War on September 28—coinciding with the actor’s 41st birthday.
According to sources close to the production, the team is debating between unveiling Ranbir’s solo first-look poster or a teaser featuring co-stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. “This will be the very first glimpse audiences get of Love & War,” a production insider reveals. “Bhansali wants it to spark curiosity about this ambitious saga, which sees Ranbir in an unusually intense role with shades of grey.”
Teaser Shoot Underway
Preparations for the teaser shoot are already in motion. The source confirms that dates are being finalized to bring Ranbir, Alia, and Vicky together for the brief filming session, which is expected to take place in Mumbai over the coming days.
Production Timeline and Release
Principal photography for Love & War is currently in progress in Mumbai, with Bhansali aiming to wrap shooting by December 2025. Although the film’s official release date is March 26, 2026, industry chatter suggests that the premiere may be pushed back by a few months, giving the director more time for his signature lavish post-production.
Produced under Bhansali’s own banner, the yet-untitled visual asset is poised to offer the first real taste of the epic romance set against a backdrop of passion and conflict, marking one of Bollywood’s most anticipated releases of next year.
