In related news, Varun Dhawan is also set to appear in David Dhawan’s upcoming film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, alongside Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur, which is slated for release on June 5 next year.


The title of this new drama is inspired by the popular song 'Hai Jawani Toh Pyaar Hona Hai' from David Dhawan's film Biwi No 1, featuring stars like Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and Sushmita Sen.


This film is expected to blend humor with romance, telling the story of a man who faces rejection from multiple women but finds unexpected help from divine intervention.
