Get ready for a full-blown blast of color, comedy, and chemistry—David Dhawan is back in his rom-com zone! The director who gave us Judwaa 2 and Main Tera Hero reunites with producer Ramesh Taurani for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, starring Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde. The film is now officially set to release in cinemas on June 5, 2026, after a slight shift from its earlier April date to fine-tune production details.
The announcement came with a punchy, graffiti-style poster bursting with neon hues, tropical palms, and playful fonts that practically scream “summer romance.” It’s the kind of vibrant aesthetic that instantly teleports you to Dhawan’s signature cinematic universe—youthful, funny, and unapologetically filmy. Fans can expect a breezy, feel-good entertainer with Varun Dhawan’s trademark energy leading the charge.
For Varun, this marks yet another collaboration with his father after hits like Judwaa 2, which grossed over 227 crore worldwide. This time, he’s paired with the talented Mrunal Thakur and the ever-charming Pooja Hegde—two actors known for balancing glamour with strong performances. The trio’s fresh dynamic is already sparking curiosity among fans and trade circles alike.
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is produced under the Tips Films banner, known for its catchy music and massy entertainment. And knowing a Dhawan-Taurani combo, the soundtrack is almost guaranteed to dominate playlists before the film even hits theaters. Expect dance numbers, laughter, and love stories wrapped in that classic ‘90s-meets-2020s’ vibe.
With its youthful energy, tropical aesthetics, and promise of nostalgia-laced fun, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai looks set to be next summer’s big-screen mood-booster. So mark your calendars—because when Dhawan says “Hai Jawani,” you know “Ishq Hona Hai!”
