What Is Varun Dhawan’s Song About?
The newly released track is a reimagined version of the iconic 1999 Bollywood dance number, originally composed by Anu Malik and picturised on Salman Khan and Sushmita Sen in Biwi No. 1 — which was also directed by David Dhawan. The recreation keeps the soul of the original intact while giving it a fresh, high-energy modern makeover.
Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde lead the number in a vibrant explosion of colour, unmatched energy, and choreography that is pure spectacle — courtesy of Remo D’Souza.

The Story Behind the Recreation
What makes this recreation particularly special is the lineage it carries. The original Chunnari Chunnari was composed by Anu Malik, who at the trailer launch event revealed that the tune was born from his daughter Anmol’s memory after he famously forgot the cassette. That personal backstory adds an emotional layer to a song most people simply know as a dance-floor staple.
Notably, the original singer Anuradha Sriram also lends her iconic voice to this new version — giving it an authentic connection to the 1999 track that a purely modern recreation would have lacked.
Varun Dhawan, speaking at the trailer launch, acknowledged the challenge and excitement of taking on such a beloved song. The recreated version features the film’s lead trio with Remo D’Souza’s choreography elevating it into a full visual spectacle.
What Is the Film About?
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai marks Varun Dhawan’s fourth collaboration with his father David Dhawan, following Main Tera Hero, Judwaa 2, and Coolie No. 1. The film follows Jass (Varun Dhawan), whose wife Baani (Mrunal Thakur) files for divorce because he is too romantic and desperately wants to be a father. Amid the separation, Jass meets Preet (Pooja Hegde) at a club and tells her he is single — and both women end up pregnant at the same time. The wild double life that follows is classic David Dhawan territory: loud, chaotic, and unapologetically entertaining.
