Mumbai, March 10 (NationPress) The much-anticipated film starring Varun Dhawan, titled “Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai”, has been rescheduled for a release on June 12. This decision was made to avoid a box-office showdown with “Toxic”, an action thriller featuring Yash, set to premiere on June 4.
Initially, the film was slated for an April 10, 2026 release. However, it was later pushed to June 5, 2026 in October 2025.
On Tuesday, the production company Tips Films released a statement on Instagram clarifying: “Our film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai was initially set for a June 5 release, which we announced months prior.”
The note emphasized that the filmmakers believe in the health of the industry through mutual support rather than competition.
“Given the recent developments and current circumstances, we felt it prudent to adjust our release date. We hold the conviction that collaboration among filmmakers benefits the industry rather than unnecessary rivalry on the same date,” it stated.
In this spirit of camaraderie, we have decided to shift the release of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai to June 12, allowing audiences to enjoy our film a week later.
The post concluded with: “Prepare for a blend of love, chaos, and full-on entertainment! Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai arrives in cinemas on June 12!”
This film promises a delightful mix of humor and romance, featuring Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde alongside Dhawan. Directed by David Dhawan, it narrates the story of a man who, after several romantic rejections, finds divine assistance.
David Dhawan, a prolific director with a portfolio of 45 films, has previously helmed hits like Aankhen, Biwi No.1, and Coolie No.1.
On March 4, the creators of the action-drama 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups' announced its delayed release to June 4 amid ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.
This film was originally set for a global release on March 19.
'Toxic' also features Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth, and Tara Sutaria in significant roles.
Written by Yash and directed by Geetu Mohandas, 'Toxic' has been filmed in both Kannada and English, with dubbed versions available in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam, showcasing its international aspirations.
Point of View
