Actors Mrunal Thakur and Varun Dhawan are collaborating for the first time in the upcoming Bollywood film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, and a behind-the-scenes video from the set has taken social media by storm.
The short clip, shared by Movie Talkies, shows Mrunal portraying a pregnant woman as she walks alongside Varun Dhawan on what appears to be a busy street set. Though her screen time in the clip lasts only a few seconds, it has revealed a significant detail about her character.
Mrunal is seen wearing a soft pink gown, while Varun appears beside her in casual navy attire, looking calm and protective as the two walk together. The subtle moment has sparked curiosity about the film’s storyline.

Soon after the video surfaced online, fans flooded the comments section with excitement.
“Drama loading… Mrunal Thakur’s pregnant look with Varun Dhawan grabs all attention,” wrote one user.
Another commented, “All excited,” while a third added, “We are waiting.”
Many viewers praised Mrunal’s appearance in this new avatar, calling the moment sweet, emotional and intriguing.
About the Film
Directed by David Dhawan, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai stars Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde in lead roles. The film also features Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Shergill, Mouni Roy, Chunky Panday, Rakesh Bedi and Ali Asgar in key supporting parts.
The film is scheduled to release in the second half of 2026. It was earlier slated for an April 10, 2026 release, but the makers later updated the date. The revised poster reads:
“Drama bhi hona hai, comedy bhi — kyunki jab Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai in cinemas on 5 June 2026.”
Recent Work
Varun Dhawan was last seen in Border 2 and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, which released last year. The latter featured Janhvi Kapoor, Rohit Suresh Saraf and Sanya Malhotra and received mixed reviews upon release.
Mrunal Thakur was most recently seen in Ajay Devgn’s Son of Sardaar 2, where she played a lively, light-hearted character — a sharp contrast to her widely loved role in Sita Ramam opposite Dulquer Salmaan.
