Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s retro looks from Love and War leak online, see here

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s new look from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War has sent social media into a frenzy, and it’s easy to see why. The leaked pictures from the set, now circulating widely online, offer the first real glimpse into Bhansali’s ambitious romantic drama slated for a March 2026 release.

With Alia, Ranbir and Vicky Kaushal leading the cast, every frame is being inspected and theorised by fans trying to decode the film’s tone and storyline.

Here’s the thing: the images don’t just reveal costumes, they hint at the world Bhansali is building. Ranbir Kapoor is seen in two striking avatars. In one frame, he’s dressed in a crisp white shirt, trousers and a tie, giving off an old-world charm straight out of a mid-century romance. In the other, he appears in a detailed army uniform, instantly suggesting layered emotional beats and possibly a storyline involving duty, distance and longing. Ranbir has rarely been seen in this kind of military look, so naturally, the internet is busy guessing what conflict his character might be stepping into.

Alia Bhatt’s look has sparked just as much buzz. She appears in a rose-gold sequined saree, her hair styled in a neat vintage bun that perfectly mirrors the film’s reported retro aesthetic. The elegance of the outfit, paired with Bhansali’s signature taste for period detailing, has fans convinced that Love & War will lean heavily into a stylised 1960s-inspired visual palette. Bhansali is also seen in the photos, mid-direction, grounding the scenes with his usual precision.
