Mumbai: Luv Ranjan’s upcoming youth entertainer Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar is attracting attention ahead of its theatrical release, with actors Nushrratt Bharuccha and Raayo S Bakhirta joining the conversation after the film’s trailer was released.
Presented by Luv Films and produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, the film marks the directorial debut of Anuj Saini. It introduces six new performers — Sparsh Walia, Alisha Chopra, Kunal Vaid, Sakshi Vaidya, Tushar Chhibber and Sargun Kaur Luthra.
The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on October 23, 2026.
Nushrratt Bharuccha reacts to the trailer
Nushrratt Bharuccha, who has been associated with the Pyaar Ka Punchnama franchise, shared the newly released trailer on social media and welcomed the film’s youthful take on relationships and romance.
The actress became a familiar face in Luv Ranjan’s comedy universe after appearing in both Pyaar Ka Punchnama films. Her latest reaction has therefore drawn attention from fans who remember her performances in the franchise.
Sharing the trailer, Nushrratt wrote:
“Phir se?? D-o-b-a-r-a?? Doosri baar?? Kya?? I hope iss baar atleast yeh log, pyaar ke saath saath rishta bhi nibhaaye! Ready for just, October 23rd!”
Her post also served as a shout-out to the film’s newcomers as they prepare to make their theatrical debut.
Raayo S Bakhirta also shares the trailer
Raayo S Bakhirta, who appeared as Vikrant Choudhary in the first Pyaar Ka Punchnama, also shared the trailer on Instagram.
His association with the original film has added another connection between the upcoming release and the earlier franchise, although Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar introduces a new cast and is being directed by Anuj Saini.
