David Dhawan’s iconic brand of comedy returns! Tips Films has officially dropped the first look for ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai,’ a massive “Double Double Love Story” featuring Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde, set for a grand May 2026 release.
The “King of Comedy” is back! David Dhawan has officially unveiled the teaser for his latest cinematic offering, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. Marking his fourth collaboration with his son Varun Dhawan, this film looks poised to revive the classic 90s-style confusion-comedy that defined an era.
The teaser kicks off with a unique twist: two toddlers discussing their parents, only to realize they share the same father—Jass—and the same birthday for their grandmothers! This clever setup immediately introduces us to the “Double-Double” chaos, where Varun Dhawan appears to be juggling multiple lives and romances with leading ladies Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde.
Varun Dhawan looks to be in top form, radiating the high-octane energy and impeccable comic timing he is known for. Mrunal Thakur (playing Baani) and Pooja Hegde (playing Preet) bring a fresh, glamorous aesthetic to this David Dhawan universe, suggesting a film that is as visually rich as it is hilarious.

Release Date & Production Excellence
Produced by Ramesh Taurani under the Tips Films banner, the movie has locked its theatrical release for May 22, 2026. The teaser showcases a “premium” visual style, with significant portions of the film shot across stunning international locations in the UK, produced in association with Maximilian Films.
With a screenplay written by David Dhawan himself and music composed by Ram Sampath, the film promises a blend of catchy anthems and rib-tickling dialogues. The supporting cast, including comedy stalwarts like Johnny Lever and Chunky Panday, ensures that the film will be a complete family entertainer.
The Factor: 3 Things We Noticed
- The “Jass” Mystery: The dual-identity/shared-father storyline hints at a modern spiritual successor to films like Sandwich and Judwaa.
- AI-Inspired Teaser: The use of digital toddler characters to narrate the premise is a fresh marketing move for a David Dhawan film.
- Global Aesthetic: Despite the rooted Indian humor, the London-based production value gives the film a high-end cinematic feel.
