Varun Dhawan is turning up the madness again, and the campaign for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has kicked off with exactly the kind of noisy, crowd-pleasing energy fans would expect from a David Dhawan entertainer. The film’s pre trailer video is now out, offering a quick taste of the confusion, comedy and ensemble chaos before the full trailer drops on Thursday, May 21.
The glimpse positions Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai as a full-on family entertainer mounted on a big, theatrical scale. Varun Dhawan leads the cast alongside Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde, while the supporting line-up adds even more commercial weight with Jimmy Shergill, Chunky Panday, Mouni Roy, Ali Asgar, Rajesh Kumar, Rakesh Bedi and Kubra Sait. Even from this early promotional beat, the film appears to be leaning heavily into mistaken identities, comic mayhem and an unapologetically loud sense of fun.
Full Trailer Arrives On May 21
The latest update from the makers is clear. After the pre trailer video stirred curiosity, the full trailer has been locked for release on May 21. That announcement gives the campaign a strong next step as the film moves closer to its theatrical debut.
Backed by Tips Industries Films and directed by David Dhawan, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is set to release in cinemas on June 5. The pre trailer does not reveal much of the story, but it does establish the tone. This is a glossy mainstream comedy built for a festive big-screen outing, with an ensemble designed to keep the gags, confusion and momentum flowing.
The Film’s Core Setup
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is a Hindi family entertainer directed by David Dhawan and produced by Tips Industries Films. The film stars Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde in the lead, with Jimmy Shergill, Chunky Panday, Mouni Roy, Ali Asgar, Rajesh Kumar, Rakesh Bedi and Kubra Sait in key roles. It is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on June 5, 2026.
The makers have not fully revealed the plot yet, but the pre trailer strongly suggests a broad comedy of errors with romance, confusion and ensemble-driven humour at its centre. That tonal promise alone is likely to be a major draw for audiences who enjoy traditional commercial Hindi comedies on the big screen.
Varun Dhawan’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Varun Dhawan was last seen in Baby John and also headlined the streaming series Citadel: Honey Bunny, a move that expanded his presence in the OTT space while keeping him active in mainstream commercial storytelling. His last release was Dharma Productions’ Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. With Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, he returns to an out-and-out comedy space that has long been an important part of his screen image.
The June 5 release also puts him back in a big ensemble setup with a distinctly theatrical pitch. Paired with Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde, and backed by a veteran commercial director in David Dhawan, the film is shaping up as one of the more overtly mass-market Hindi comedy releases on the near horizon.
