Hai Jawan Toh Ishq Hona Hai gets new release date
Directed by David Dhawan, the film is a vibrant celebration of youth, love and laughter. Featuring an ensemble cast including Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is among the most anticipated releases of the year and promises the high-energy storytelling that Tips Films and David Dhawan are known for.
In an official statement, Ramesh Taurani, Managing Director of Tips Films, said, “We would like to clarify that our film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai was originally scheduled for release on June 5, a date we had announced several months ago. However, after recent developments and considering the prevailing situation, we felt it would be more appropriate to shift our release.”

He further added, “We strongly believe that it is always healthier for the industry when filmmakers support one another rather than compete unnecessarily on the same date. In that spirit of solidarity, we have decided to move the release of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai to June 12 and bring our film to audiences a week later.”
Promotional activities, including the launch of the film’s soundtrack and trailer, will continue as planned, building momentum toward the new mid-June release.
Toxic postponed
Earlier, this month, the makers of Yash-starrer announced a new release date for the film. Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups was earlier scheduled for March 19 release. However, the makers cited West Asia crisis while pushing film's release date.
KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations released an official statement that read, "Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups is a film we conceptualised with the vision to create cinema for a global audience. Filmed in Kannada and English, it is built with the conviction to connect with viewers both at home and across the world. After years of dedicated labour, we were excited to share our film with you all on the 19th of March. However, the current uncertainty, especially in the Middle East, has created a situation that impacts our goal to reach and connect with the widest possible audience."
The note further stated, "Therefore, in the interest of our partners and our audience, we have made the difficult but carefully considered decision to reschedule our release. We thank you for your understanding and patience and look forward to your continued love and support."
