Catch Kriti during the credit roll
Sources say Kriti Sanon has a cameo in âHai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai'; actor filmed a post-credit scene with Varun Dhawan this week
According to a source close to the production, the team had been planning a glamorous end-credit track, but Sanon's involvement was a late addition. "It was meant to be a fun comedy track that captures the film's spirit. The scene also has Maniesh Paul. Getting Kriti on board was an inspired choice, given her crackling screen presence with Varun in Dilwale [2015] and Bhediya [2022]," a source said.
The source added, "Director David Dhawan wanted it to feel like a comic twist, not just for the characters, but for the audience walking out of the theatre."
