The upcoming Bollywood romantic comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai starring Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde has officially postponed its theatrical release.
Originally scheduled to hit cinemas on June 5, 2026, the film will now arrive one week later on June 12, 2026. The shift comes amid changing release schedules in the industry and aims to avoid a major box office clash.
Release Shift Comes Amid Toxic’s Schedule Change
The adjustment in release date follows the revised schedule of Toxic, featuring Yash. The film is now preparing for a June 4 release, instead of its earlier planned debut in March.
Previously, Toxic was set for March 19, which would have put it in competition with Dhurandhar: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh.
With the updated release calendar, the makers of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai chose to move their film by a week.
Tips Films Confirms the New Date
The film’s production banner Tips Films shared an official statement explaining the decision.
According to the statement, the movie had originally locked June 5 as its release date months earlier. However, after recent developments in the industry, the team felt it would be better to adjust the schedule.
The makers emphasised that supporting fellow filmmakers and avoiding unnecessary clashes helps maintain a healthier environment for the film industry.
Star-Studded Cast
Apart from the three lead actors, the romantic comedy also features a strong supporting cast including:
- Maniesh Paul
- Mouni Roy
- Jimmy Sheirgill
- Chunky Panday
The film promises a light-hearted entertainer packed with romance, humour, and drama.
David Dhawan and Varun Dhawan Reunite Again
The movie is directed by David Dhawan and produced by Ramesh Taurani.
This project marks the fourth collaboration between David Dhawan and Varun Dhawan, following their previous hits:
- Main Tera Hero
- Judwaa 2
- Coolie No. 1
Their previous partnerships have been known for delivering commercial entertainers, and expectations remain high for this upcoming rom-com.
Plot Details
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is reportedly centred on a romantic love triangle involving the three lead characters. The story follows a man who has repeatedly faced rejection in love but eventually comes up with a plan to change his fate.
With its new release date locked, the film is now set to reach theatres on June 12, 2026.
