Vicky Kaushal is turning heads with a rugged new look for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, sporting a scarred face and cigarette in hand in the film’s first-look poster.
After Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, the Dunki star is the latest Love & War star to get a first-look poster.
Helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the period war drama is one of 2027’s most anticipated releases and follows his acclaimed Gangubai Kathiawadi.
In the poster, Vicky grips a silver Zippo-style lighter in his right hand while lighting the cigarette in his mouth, with wisps of smoke framing his face.
His intense stare and furrowed brows give the poster a dark, serious edge, complemented by his thick moustache and a visible scar on his forehead.
The gold ring on his right hand adds a subtle touch, while his dark collared shirt completes the rugged look.
The makers wrote in their caption, “Nazre milengi, lekin hatengi nahin! Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War on 21st January 2027 See you at the movies! #LoveAndWar.”
Love & War
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s first looks have given fans an early peek at the distinct worlds their characters inhabit in Love & War.
The Animal star appears behind the wheel of a vintage car, sporting a white T-shirt, glasses and a cropped buzz cut.
His simple styling contrasts with the blood and bruises visible on his hand, hinting at a dramatic backstory.
Alia, meanwhile, sports a dramatic magenta-red outfit and elaborate headpiece, resembling a cabaret performer.
Her crop top and thigh-high slit skirt suggest a dance sequence, though the poster keeps her character and the scene’s context under wraps.
Love & War stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, marking their first collaboration in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's highly anticipated epic period drama, Love & War, is officially scheduled to release worldwide on January 21, 2027.
