Vicky Kaushal’s First Look Revealed for Love & War

A first-look poster for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War features Vicky Kaushal in a brooding, vintage-styled appearance, while promotional material lists January 21, 2027, as the film’s theatrical release date. The film is directed by Bhansali and also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. In the poster, Kaushal has a thick moustache and visible facial scars, and holds a silver lighter as he lights a cigarette. The dark, period-inspired styling offers little definite information about his character. A line accompanying the image reads, “Nazre milengi, lekin hatengi nahin!” A separate poster described in promotional coverage shows Kaushal waiting in a fountain with a bouquet of flowers, a softer image than the cigarette-smoking first look. Its caption reads, “Woh deewana hai. Uska intezaar hai...” The two images present contrasting moods, but do not establish how the character fits into the story. Love & War brings Kaushal together with Kapoor and Bhatt under Bhansali’s direction. The release date announced in the promotional material is January 21, 2027.
