Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai First look: Varun Dhawan is caught in a double love twist with Pooja Hedge and Mrunal Thakur The much-anticipated first look of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has finally been unveiled on April 14, and it promises a full-blown dose of entertainment, romance, and signature comedy. Marking the return of veteran filmmaker David Dhawan, the film starring Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, and Mrunal Thakur seems to carry all the ingredients of a classic Bollywood crowd-pleaser. Interestingly, this outing marks David Dhawan’s 46th directorial venture, and he reunites with producer Ramesh Taurani and Tips Films to deliver what appears to be a high-energy entertainer packed with humour and drama. The first look opens on a quirky and unexpected note. Told from the perspective of two toddlers, the narrative device instantly adds intrigue and a playful tone, setting the stage for what follows. As the teaser unfolds, it gradually introduces the film’s vibrant world and its lead characters— Varun Dhawan is seen as Jass, while Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde step into the roles of Bani and Preet, respectively. The teaser hints at a classic case of romantic chaos, with Varun’s character seemingly caught in a complicated love triangle. Adding to the intrigue, the toddler narration suggests a “double trouble” situation, implying dual identities or overlapping relationships, a trope often associated with David Dhawan’s brand of storytelling.

David Dhawan reveals between Salman Khan or Govinda who had better chemistry with Karisma Kapoor On March 24, Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge completes 26 years. Director David Dhawan looks back on the successful romcom with much affection. “Salman Khan shared terrific chemistry with Karisma Kapoor. They worked together in Judwaa, Biwi No. 1, and Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge with me. There was also Chal Mere Bhai, where Karisma was paired with both Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) and Salman. All of them were great fun,” recalls David fondly. So who did Karisma share better chemistry with Salman or Govinda? David remains noncommittal. “Both, yaar, both. She was friends with both, and the comfort level showed. But Lolo’s dancing with Chi Chi was something else. ”Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge revolved around Karisma’s character and her three overly protective uncles, all anxious to get her married. Laughs David, “Don’t you think Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, and Anupam Kher were a laugh riot as the uncles? Om was labelled a serious actor, but he had so much fun doing comedy roles. ”Also Read: Border 2 success press meet: Varun Dhawan recalls leaving shoot after David Dhawan was admitted to ICU: “Dad said, ‘Producer ka paisa lagta hai…return to set'”; jokes about incorporating ‘tedha face wala smile’ in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai... #March #David #Dhawan #Salman_Khan #David_Dhawan #Karisma_Kapoor #Dulhan_Hum #Dhawan_reveals #Jayenge_completes #Karisma
