Bollywood star Varun Dhawan has set social media abuzz with a charming teaser for his upcoming romantic comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. Sharing a split-image post featuring himself in romantic moments with a female co-star, the actor gave fans a taste of the film’s vibe—equal parts playful and passionate. Captioning the post, “#haijawanitohishqhonahai first look out soon….. this summer in theatre's”, Varun has already ignited excitement around the film’s much-awaited first look.
The teaser images showcase Varun in two contrasting yet equally romantic settings—one urban and modern, the other serene and riverside—hinting at a love story that unfolds across diverse backdrops. While the identity of the featured co-star in the teaser remains a talking point, fans are already buzzing about the palpable on-screen chemistry and the film’s breezy, feel-good tone.
Directed by veteran filmmaker David Dhawan, the film marks yet another collaboration between the father-son duo. This will be their fourth outing together after successful entertainers like Main Tera Hero, Judwaa 2, and Coolie No. 1. Known for his signature style of high-energy comedies packed with romance and humor, David Dhawan’s return to the genre has only amplified anticipation among fans.
The film stars Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur as the leading ladies opposite Varun Dhawan, promising a vibrant romantic triangle or layered love story. The ensemble cast further includes Mouni Roy, Chunky Panday, Jimmy Shergill, and Ali Asgar, adding depth and comic flair to the narrative.
Originally slated for an earlier release, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai will now hit theatres on June 12, 2026, following a slight postponement to avoid a box office clash with another major release. The film’s music is composed by the popular duo Sachin-Jigar, known for delivering chart-topping tracks that often become cultural sensations.
Interestingly, the film’s title draws inspiration from the iconic song “Ishq Sona Hai” from the 1999 hit Biwi No. 1, a nod to the classic era of Bollywood rom-coms that David Dhawan himself helped define. With a nostalgic title, a fresh cast dynamic, and a promise of youthful romance, the film is shaping up to be a quintessential summer entertainer.
As the countdown to the first look begins, fans are eagerly waiting to see more glimpses of what could be one of the season’s most talked-about romantic comedies.
