Dharma Productions has officially dropped the much-awaited first look poster of Varun Dhawan from its upcoming romantic family drama, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. The poster was unveiled on social media with a poetic caption that read, "Sunny Sanskari ki shaayari - ‘Yeh aansoon hain mere, samundar ka jal nahin...Baarish ka kya bharosa, aaj hai...kal nahi!!!" This emotional couplet sets the tone for a nostalgic, heartwarming film that appears rooted in classic Hindi cinema sentimentality.
Directed by Shashank Khaitan, the film marks a return to the quintessential Bollywood storytelling style, mixing family values, romance, and poetic drama. Known for his work in films like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Khaitan’s signature touch is evident in the film’s promotional material. While the teaser evokes a familiar emotional palette, its success may depend on how well today’s audience resonates with such an old-school charm.
Adding to the excitement is the film’s lead pair—Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor—reuniting after their 2023 collaboration Bawaal. Their on-screen chemistry will be closely watched by fans and critics alike. Set to release on October 2, 2025, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is being positioned as one of the year’s big-ticket entertainers, especially with a strong ensemble cast backing the lead duo.
The film also stars Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Maniesh Paul, and Akshay Oberoi in significant roles. Backed by producers Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Shashank Khaitan himself, this project is shaping up to be a quintessential Dharma offering. With music by Sony Music India and a screenplay that promises emotional highs and heartfelt drama, all eyes are now on the film’s next trailer drop.
