"Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai," a Bollywood romantic comedy set for release on April 10, 2026, directed by David Dhawan, known for hits like "Coolie No.1," and stars Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, Mrunal Thakur, and Chunky Pandey, with the title inspired by the 1999 song "Ishq Hona Hai" from David Dhawan's "Biwi No.1."
The film's vibrant poster, featuring neon text and a tropical backdrop, aligns with Bollywood's trend of colorful, nostalgic marketing, while its release date on a Friday follows the industry practice of leveraging cultural beliefs about Fridays being auspicious for prosperity, as noted in Bollymoviereviewz.
The cast's recent collaboration in London for the "Retro" premiere, as mentioned in News18, highlights their growing camaraderie, potentially boosting the film's appeal, while Pooja Hegde's rising popularity after "Retro" and her cameo in Rajnikanth’s "Coolie" adds significant star power to this project.
