Imtiaz Ali and Diljit Dosanjh Team Up Again for a Heartfelt Film Set for April 2026 Release

Upcoming Film Release Details

The highly anticipated film by director Imtiaz Ali, featuring actor and musician Diljit Dosanjh, is set to hit theaters in April 2026, aligning with the Baisakhi festival. This untitled project is described as a 'charming tale of love and longing' and represents the second collaboration between Ali and Dosanjh, following their successful 2024 film, Amar Singh Chamkila.

Star-Studded Cast and Themes

Joining the cast are renowned actors Naseeruddin Shah, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari. The film promises a modern and humorous storyline that delves into the intricacies of human relationships. Ali referenced the famous couplet by poet Momin Khan Momin, 'Tum mere paas hote ho goya, Jab koi doosra nahin hota' ('You are with me, however, when there is no one else'), expressing his desire to create a 'touching cinematic experience.'

Exploring Love and Belonging

The filmmaker poses profound questions about love and belonging, asking, 'Can love truly be lost? Can a home be taken from someone's heart?' He describes the film as having a 'big heart' and a vast narrative scope while remaining deeply personal. It tells the story of a boy and a girl, but also reflects on the essence of a nation.

Production Timeline

Filming is scheduled to commence in August of this year. Notably, Ali's previous collaboration with Dosanjh, Amar Singh Chamkila, was also released during the Baisakhi festival in 2024.
