Varun Dhawan makes his much-awaited return to the romantic-comedy genre with the upcoming film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. After his patriotic role in Border 2, Dhawan is back in a familiar space, bringing his signature charm to this lively love triangle. The film, which also stars Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur, introduces a fun, high-energy world where love and laughter take center stage. The recently released teaser hints at a "double trouble" love story, setting the stage for a chaotic yet heartwarming romantic adventure.

The teaser opens with a quirky AI-generated moment involving toddlers discussing their parents, setting the tone for the playful and unpredictable romance that follows. The story promises to delve into the dynamics of a love triangle, with Dhawan's character caught between two beautiful and strong-willed women. Accompanying the teaser is a revamped version of the iconic song Ishq Sona Hai from David Dhawan's 1999 hit Biwi No. 1, adding a nostalgic twist to the modern love story. The film marks a significant return for Bollywood’s romantic-comedy genre, which has seen a decline in recent years as action-packed films took over the mainstream.

Directed by David Dhawan, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is his 46th directorial venture. Produced by Ramesh Taurani and Tips Films Ltd, with co-production by Maximillian Films (UK), the film is set to release in cinemas on May 22, 2026. With its energetic cast, catchy music, and promise of lighthearted romance, the film is expected to be a refreshing addition to the romantic-comedy genre, rejuvenating Bollywood's love story tradition for a new generation of moviegoers.
