Varun Dhawan and filmmaker David Dhawan are once again facing uncertainty over the release of their upcoming romcom Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. The film, which also stars Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur, is currently slated for a June 5 release. However, sources suggest the date may change yet again to avoid a box office clash with Ram Charan’s Peddi, set to release a day earlier on June 4.

Dhawans In A Fix Over Release

After undergoing multiple changes to its release plan, the much-anticipated rom-com has now returned to its original theatrical date of June 5 after earlier being shifted to May 22 and then June 12.

The initial changes were made to avoid clashes with Karan Johar’s Chand Mera Dil and Geetu Mohandas’s Toxic. However, after Toxic was postponed indefinitely following several delays, the makers decided to move back to their June 5 release.

And just when things seemed settled, another challenge at the box office emerged. Ram Charan’s long-delayed Peddi is now set to release on June 4, bringing direct competition a day before the Dhawans’ film. 

Following this, the Dhawans are once again rethinking their strategy.
