Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War has found itself in the spotlight after a video claiming to feature Alia Bhatt from the film's dance sequence surfaced online. The clip arrived shortly after the makers unveiled Alia's character poster, giving fans another glimpse of the actor's yet-to-be-seen avatar.

Alia Bhatt's Love and War dance clip leaked

The upcoming period drama brings together Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, with Bhansali at the helm. While details about the characters and story have largely been kept under wraps, the recently released posters have offered some clues about the world of the film. Alia is reportedly playing a cabaret dancer, and her glamorous look has already generated considerable curiosity around her character.

Soon after Alia's posters were unveiled on Friday, a video began circulating on social media, with claims that it shows the actor performing a dance number from Love and War. Alia's face is not clearly visible in the footage, so the authenticity of the clip has not been established. However, the outfit worn by the woman in the video appears similar to the one Alia sports in her recently released character posters.

Love and War release date and cast

Love and War marks another collaboration between Bhansali and Alia, while also bringing Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal together in the highly anticipated project. The film has been one of the most talked-about upcoming Hindi releases, with its central trio adding to the anticipation.

The makers have been gradually introducing the film's characters through promotional material, with Ranbir's first look arriving on Thursday and Alia's following a day later. The latest posters have offered a glimpse of Alia's cabaret dancer avatar, while the circulating video has further fuelled interest in what could be one of the film's dance sequences.

For now, the video remains unverified, and there has been no official confirmation from the makers that the footage is indeed from Love and War. Audiences will have to wait for the film's official promotional material to see Alia's character and Bhansali's musical world in full.

The movie was initially scheduled to arrive in theatres in Christmas 2025. The release was subsequently pushed to March 2026 before being postponed again. It is now slated to release on January 21, 2027.
