What is the story about?
David Dhawan and chaos is a match made in heaven. Farce is something that mostly drives the narrative of his comedies. The man who made his debut as a director in 1989 has made 45 films so far. He gears up for his 46th titled
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. This comedy stars Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, Mrunal Thakur, and Mouni Roy.
Mouni Roy as Varun Dhawan's mother
For those who have seen the trailer, Roy plays Dhawan's fake mother to further complicate the situation. And this is how netizens are reacting:
"#VarunDhawan is 39 and #MouniRoy is 40 but in #HaiJawaniToIshqHonaHai Mouni plays Varun's fake mother! #DavidDhawan's peak brainrot," wrote a post.
"I can imagine #VarunDhawan saying this to Manish in the film and can also foresee #JimmySheirgill flirting with #MouniRoy like he did with #Tabu in #DDPD," read another comment.
"Mouni Roy is the biggest surprise package of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai movie. It's like in Bol Bachchan when Archana Puran Singh became a fake mother of Abhishek Bachchan," wrote another X user.
Known for his signature brand of larger-than-life family entertainers, David Dhawan brings together an exciting cast led by Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde. The film also features Rakesh Bedi, Chunky Panday, Jimmy Shergill, Mouni Roy, Rajesh Kumar, and Ali Asgar in pivotal roles.
Director David Dhawan said, "This is my 46th film, and entertaining my audience continues to give me biggest joy. The film has all the ingredients of a classic family entertainer — humour, confusion, music, and heart."
Speaking about the film, producer Ramesh Taurani said, “With Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, we wanted to create a wholesome entertainer filled with laughter, music, romance, and family fun. We’re excited for audiences to experience the film’s energy and madness.”
