Sometimes one film’s delay is another film’s opportunity. When Yash’s Toxic stepped back from its June 4, 2026 release to pursue a bigger global rollout, Varun Dhawan’s romantic comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai stepped right back into its original spot — June 5, 2026. And Varun being Varun, he even publicly thanked Yash for it.

The Release Date Saga — Finally Resolved
This film has been on quite the scheduling rollercoaster. Originally locked for June 5, it was pushed to June 12 to avoid a clash with Toxic on June 4. Then it was pulled forward again to May 22. Now, with Toxic postponed for a global rollout, the team has circled right back to where it all began — June 5, as originally planned.
In a classy social media post, Varun confirmed the date and took a moment to acknowledge Yash and Maddock Films, calling it a grateful reset of the calendar. It’s the kind of goodwill that’s rare in a competitive industry, and it says a lot about the camaraderie between filmmakers across industries today.

What Is the Film About?
The first-look glimpse of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai teases a quirky double-trouble love story — two babies with different mothers discover their fathers share the same name and birthday, raising the very obvious question. Directed by David Dhawan, the film promises the kind of colourful, feel-good entertainment that the father-son duo does best together. With Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur as co-leads and a packed supporting cast, this one is shaping up to be a proper mass entertainer.
As Varun himself called it — the first film to release post-IPL, which means it hits theatres when audiences are genuinely hungry for a big-screen outing.
