The promotional countdown for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai hit an unexpected pause on Thursday, May 21, as the film’s trailer launch event was cancelled on the very day it was scheduled to take place. For a film already riding high on curiosity because of its David Dhawan and Varun Dhawan reunion, the last-minute development instantly became the day’s biggest Bollywood talking point.
The announcement came through an official note from the film’s team, which cited technical issues as the reason behind the cancellation. The team wrote, “We regret to inform you that the trailer launch event for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, scheduled for today, has been cancelled due to unforeseen technical difficulties.”
Makers Say Trailer Will Be Shared Soon
While the event did not go ahead as planned, the makers assured fans and the media that the trailer is still on its way. The statement added, “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding and continued support.”
The note further said, “We look forward to sharing the trailer with you soon.”
The message was signed by Team Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, keeping the communication brief but clear. No revised trailer launch date has been announced yet, but the wording confirms that the campaign has only been delayed, not derailed.
The timing of the cancellation is significant because the film is now less than three weeks away from its theatrical release. With a June 5, 2026 release date locked, the trailer is expected to become the key driver of the film’s final promotional phase. The film has already drawn attention for bringing Varun Dhawan back into the full-blown commercial comedy space under the direction of his father, David Dhawan.
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Brings Back David Dhawan’S Comedy Zone
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is a Hindi romantic comedy directed by David Dhawan and produced by Ramesh Taurani under Tips Films, with Gaurav Bose attached as co-producer through Maximilian Films. The film stars Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde in the lead roles, with Maniesh Paul, Chunky Panday, Jimmy Sheirgill and Mouni Roy also part of the ensemble.
The film’s premise centres on a youth-driven romantic comedy space, in keeping with David Dhawan’s long-standing command over mainstream entertainers. It also marks another major father-son collaboration after their earlier commercial entertainers, making it a closely watched release on the 2026 Hindi film calendar.
With the trailer event now called off, all eyes are on the makers’ next move. For fans waiting to see the first full glimpse of Varun Dhawan’s latest big-screen entertainer, the wait has become a little longer, but the momentum around Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai remains firmly alive.
