Imtiaz Ali is officially in “new love story” mode again, and this time, the filmmaker is teasing a big-screen romance that has already started to feel like an event. On March 13, 2026, the director unveiled the first look of his next theatrical film, Main Vaapas Aaunga, featuring Diljit Dosanjh, Sharvari, Naseeruddin Shah and Vedang Raina. Adding to the buzz, the makers have confirmed that the teaser will drop today at 1 PM.
The project has been positioned as a tale of love and longing, with Ali returning to the emotional terrain he is best known for, while also bringing together an ensemble that feels fresh on paper. It is also a reunion that music lovers will instantly clock, as the film brings back the powerhouse combination of Imtiaz Ali, A. R. Rahman and Irshad Kamil.
First Look Out, Teaser Arriving At 1 PM Today
The first look reveal sets the stage for what the makers describe as a story steeped in romance and yearning, with Main Vaapas Aaunga scheduled to release in cinemas on June 12, 2026. The film is written and directed by Imtiaz Ali and stars Diljit Dosanjh, Sharvari, Vedang Raina and Naseeruddin Shah.
The film is presented by Applause Entertainment and produced by Applause Entertainment, Window Seat Films and Mohit Choudhary. On the music front, Rahman is composing, with Irshad Kamil on lyrics, a combination that has previously powered some of Ali’s most enduring albums.
While plot details are being kept tightly under wraps, the first look is clearly designed to announce tone and mood rather than story mechanics, and the teaser drop later today should give audiences their first real taste of the world Ali has built this time.
Main Vaapas Aaunga, What We Know So Far
