Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film Love and War has been generating steady anticipation, and a new behind-the-scenes photo has only heightened the excitement. A recently surfaced image featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in matching Air Force uniforms quickly went viral, stirring both admiration and debate across social media.

Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal go viral in air force uniforms as behind-the-scenes photos from Love and War surface

Ranbir and Vicky’s Air Force avatars go viral

The photo, shared online by industry handle The Climax India, showed the two actors standing beside a fighter jet while dressed in full Air Force gear. The post described the moment as a tribute to the MiG-21, which was making one of its final takeoffs. In the image, both Ranbir and Vicky sported matching moustaches, aviators, and poised military stances — a look that many fans immediately described as “twinning.”

Another photo of Ranbir in a pilot uniform also surfaced, further adding to the buzz surrounding the film and its wartime setting.

Social media reacts with a mix of love and criticism

The images sparked lively discussions online, especially on Reddit, where opinions were sharply divided. Some users were unimpressed, with comments such as, “Boy, this is a terrible look for Vicky,” and “Ranbir with that moustache looks like the guy from Mario.” Others felt the actors lacked the “aura” expected from Air Force officers.

However, several fans strongly disagreed with the criticism. Many praised Ranbir’s appearance, calling him “handsome” and “perfect as an IAF officer,” while others expressed excitement for the film, leaving heart and fire emojis under the posts.
