The much-anticipated unveiling of the first look for Varun Dhawan’s upcoming romantic comedy, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, has been officially postponed. The decision comes as a mark of respect following the heartbreaking news of the passing of legendary playback singer Asha Bhosle.
The film’s producers, Tips Films, released a heartfelt statement on Monday confirming that they would be pausing all promotional activities. The first look, which was scheduled to drop today, April 13, 2026, will now be shared with the public tomorrow.
“With the passing of legendary Asha Bhosle ji, we pause to remember a voice that shaped generations of music and emotion. As a mark of respect, we will now be releasing the first look of ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ tomorrow instead of today,” the official statement read.
Asha Bhosle, the “Nightingale of Asia,” passed away at the age of 92 in Mumbai. Her demise has sent shockwaves through the Indian film industry, leading several major production houses to delay their scheduled announcements. Along with the team of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Dharma Productions also announced a delay for the title track of their project Chand Mera Dil as a tribute to the late singer’s monumental legacy.
Directed by the veteran master of comedy, David Dhawan, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai marks yet another collaboration between the father-son duo. The film is a vibrant romantic entertainer that promises to blend 90s nostalgia with modern storytelling.
While the first look has faced a brief 24-hour delay, the film’s release strategy remains a topic of significant interest. Initially slated for a June 5 release, the makers recently moved the date to June 12, 2026, to avoid a box-office clash with the pan-India film Toxic, starring Yash.
Fans of Varun Dhawan have been eagerly waiting for this “first look” to get a glimpse of the actor’s return to the classic comedy genre. However, the sentiment across social media remains one of solidarity, with fans supporting the decision to honor the memory of one of India’s greatest musical icons. To know such
