More About The Upcoming Film

The film's title and release date announcement came with an intriguing caption, teasing fans with a glimpse into the love story awaiting them on the big screen. Varun Dhawan will portray the character of Sunny Sanskari, while Janhvi Kapoor will essay the role of Tulsi Kumari, promising a delightful blend of romance and entertainment. This collaboration marks the second time Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor will share the screen, following their successful pairing in the 2023 film Bawaal, directed by Nitesh Tiwari.

Earlier this year, rumours surfaced regarding Alia Bhatt's potential replacement by Janhvi Kapoor in Dulhania 3. In response to these speculations, Karan Johar took to Instagram Stories to urge the media to refrain from conjecture until Dharma Productions make official announcements. Emphasising the importance of accuracy over speculation, Johar clarified that details about the film's cast and storyline would be disclosed when plans are finalised.

The decision to cast Janhvi Kapoor opposite Varun Dhawan in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari marks a departure from the franchise's previous instalments, which featured Alia Bhatt in the lead role. However, the fresh pairing and new storyline promise audiences an exciting cinematic experience, distinct from its predecessors.
