Varun Dhawan has given fans exactly the kind of teaser they love, a breezy still with Mrunal Thakur, a flirt-heavy vibe, and a caption that instantly did the talking. Sharing the image from Hai Jawani To Ishq Hona Hai, the actor wrote, “lekin jawani mein ishq baar baar hota,” and the post quickly grabbed attention for its easy charm and crackling chemistry.
That one update was enough to push the film back into the conversation. With Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde joining Varun in the David Dhawan directorial, the film has already sparked curiosity, and this latest still arrives as the team builds toward its theatrical release next year.
Varun Dhawan’s New Still Keeps Hai Jawani To Ishq Hona Hai In Focus
Varun’s Instagram post is the latest official look at Hai Jawani To Ishq Hona Hai, directed by David Dhawan and produced by Ramesh Taurani. The film is now scheduled to release in theatres on June 12, 2026, after moving from its earlier June 5 date. Taurani confirmed the shift in an official statement, saying the decision was taken after recent developments and in the spirit of avoiding an unnecessary box office clash.
The rollout so far suggests the makers are choosing to spotlight mood and chemistry rather than reveal too much too early. That works neatly for a film whose title already carries a playful throwback flavour, making Varun’s latest caption-led tease feel perfectly aligned with the project’s tone.
Varun’s Packed Slate Keeps The Spotlight Burning
The timing of this new still also lands neatly within a busy stretch for Varun. He was last seen in Baby John, the 2024 action drama directed by Kalees, and also led the Prime Video series Citadel: Honey Bunny, directed by Raj and DK, a major OTT release in his recent lineup.
His upcoming calendar remains full. Varun was part of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, directed by Shashank Khaitan and co-starring Janhvi Kapoor, which released in 2025. He also appeared in Border 2, the Anurag Singh-directed war drama released in January 2026. Against that backdrop, Hai Jawani To Ishq Hona Hai adds another prominent theatrical title to his slate and brings him back together with David Dhawan for a film that is already generating attention through its first bursts of promotional material.
For now, it is that one still with Mrunal and that mischievous caption that has done the job. If the idea was to stir curiosity without overselling the film, Varun has pulled it off in a way only a star-led social media drop can.
