During the Delhi promotion of Tere Ishk Mein, Kriti Sanon opened up about diving deep into her role as Mukti, emphasizing the complexity of the character. “I have already told you how Mukti starts and ends. In my opinion, there are two different characters,” she said, highlighting the emotional depth and transformation her role demanded. Kriti expressed her excitement about working under director Aanand L Rai and alongside Dhanush, calling it a rare opportunity to explore a layered character.
Kriti stressed that she approached Mukti independently, without comparing her to previous roles. “This is a different story. I didn’t have Raanjhanaa in my mind,” she explained, adding that the character’s emotional arc required authenticity and subtlety. She appreciated the freedom to explore Mukti’s journey from a carefree young woman to someone grappling with love and heartbreak.
In the film, Mukti falls for Shankar, played by Dhanush, a fierce and unpredictable man. Circumstances prevent their love from flourishing, leading Shankar into a vengeful spiral that reportedly threatens to “burn entire Delhi” in his heartbreak. The story promises high-stakes romance, intense drama, and the signature emotional twists of Aanand L Rai’s films.
The project was first revealed on the 10th anniversary of Raanjhanaa, with production handled by Gulshan Kumar, T-Series, and Colour Yellow Productions, and producers Aanand L Rai, Himanshu Sharma, Bhushan Kumar, and Krishan Kumar. The film also marks a reunion for Kriti and Dhanush under Rai’s direction, generating significant buzz among fans and industry insiders alike.
Tere Ishk Mein will hit theatres on November 28, 2025, promising audiences a compelling mix of romance, heartbreak, and emotional intensity. With Kriti’s nuanced portrayal of Mukti and Dhanush’s raw performance, the film is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated romantic dramas of the year.
