Mumbai is buzzing again after a new wave of leaked photos from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming epic Love & War hit social media.
The spotlight this time is firmly on Ranbir Kapoor, whose pilot avatar has taken over timelines and sparked an explosion of fan excitement.
Ranbir Kapoor Look From Love & War Leaks:
What began as a quiet mid-week evening quickly turned chaotic once the images began circulating online, giving fans an unexpected preview of the film that has been tightly guarded until now.
The photos show Kapoor in a sharp blue pilot suit as he stands beside a fighter aircraft on what looks like a meticulously designed military airbase set.
His focused stare, perfectly styled hair and the overall retro-military styling instantly reminded fans of his intense Bombay Velvet days, but with a far more heroic twist.

For many on social media, it felt like spotting the first major cinematic moment of 2026 before the year has even begun.
Reactions were instant and loud.
One fan declared that Kapoor’s pilot look alone was enough reason to book tickets.

Another joked that any future aerial action film will now have to compete with this unexpected preview.
The frenzy mirrors what happened just days earlier when Alia Bhatt’s elegant ivory-gold saree look from the same film leaked online and drew comparisons to Bhansali’s signature classic aesthetics.
These new images add to earlier glimpses of Kapoor in a vintage-inspired white shirt, blue trousers and tie, which hinted at a mid-century romance at the core of the story.
Bhansali has already addressed rumors about the film being a remake of Sangam, clarifying that Love & War stands entirely on its own, though its emotional landscape may echo the timelessness of old Bollywood love triangles.
The film brings together Kapoor, Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in a dramatic story set against conflict and sacrifice.
Kaushal’s collaboration with both Kapoor and Bhansali has been one of the most discussed aspects of the production, especially with reports of intense physical prep and large-scale shoots happening at real airbases.
Although the leaks have frustrated the production team, the unintended previews have only increased curiosity.
A Reddit user summed up the mood by saying that every Ranbir set seems destined to leak, but this time fans are not complaining.
With its March 2026 release inching closer, Love & War is shaping up to be one of Bollywood’s biggest events.
