Ranbir Kapoor has a big lineup of films in the upcoming years. One of them is Love & War, which is going to be his next big release after Ramayana. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film also features Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal playing important roles.
Love & War recently came into the headlines after Ranbir’s look went viral on social media. A photo of Ranbir in a black suit, which is believed to have been captured on the film set, has generated a new debate, leading to mixed responses about his overall appearance.
Notably, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has also been targeted in this matter, with netizens questioning why he opted to give such a routine and ordinary look to Ranbir. The questions were asked based on the fact that SLB has always given his lead actors a new form whenever they play a lead role in his films.
A few compared Ranbir Kapoor’s look to Bombay Velvet. They stated that if his hairstyle is changed a little bit, he will look exactly like the same character that appeared in the 2015 film, directed by Anurag Kashyap. Some also alleged that Ranbir’s look was hinting at the fact that he was possibly not interested in doing the film, and this might have to do with the frequent delays in release.
Another section said that SLB once again proved he can only deliver his best with Ranveer Singh and he cannot do the same with other actors. A look of Alia Bhatt also went viral, which has received a better response, with netizens claiming that it looks different and unique.
Some said that the underwhelming response to the leaked photos of Ranbir is a result of postponing the film multiple times. They stated that Love & War should be a lesson for filmmakers working on big projects and that they should aim to prepare everything in advance so that the shooting does not stop for any reason and the movie is delivered to the audience on time.
Although SLB’s work has been loved over the years, netizens are expressing doubts about whether he has created something better than his previous works this time. Trade experts are also advising the makers to release some posters or first looks of the characters to build some hype in advance.
Let’s wait and see if SLB will make changes after looking at the feedback of the audience or if he will prefer to complete the film as it is without any changes.
