Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde’s Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has been postponed. The film was earlier scheduled to release on June 5, and now the makers have announced a new release date.
The film will now be hitting theatres on June 12. The move came after Yash’s Toxic changed its release date. The action drama has also shifted from March 19 to June 4.
In an official statement, Ramesh Taurani, Managing Director of Tips Films, shared, “We would like to clarify that our film – Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai was originally scheduled for release on 5th June, a date we had announced several months ago. However, after recent developments and considering the prevailing situation, we felt it would be more appropriate to shift our release.” He further added, “We strongly believe that it is always healthier for the industry when filmmakers support one another rather than compete unnecessarily on the same date. In that spirit of solidarity, we have decided to move the release of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai to 12th June and bring our film to the audiences a week later.”

Toxic Makers On Film’s Clash With Varun Dhawan’s Hai Jawani To Ishq Hona Hai
Yash took everyone by surprise after he announced that his much-anticipated film Toxic is postponed and will now hit the big screen on June 4 instead of March 19 due to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. While this shift in the release date has avoided one of the biggest clashes of 2026, Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic will now release on different dates. The Yash starrer will hit the big screen at the same time as Varun Dhawan’s Hai Jawani To Ishq Hona Hai.
Hindustan Times reported a spokesperson from KVN Productions confirming news, “When the owner of KVN, Mr. Venkat, realised the dates were overlapping, he personally reached out to the makers of Varun’s film, Mr. Ramesh Taurani, to avoid any unnecessary friction. Anil Thadani facilitated the conversation, as Toxic makers were clear that they didn’t want the other project to face the kind of uncertainty his film had earlier encountered. The discussion happened well before the official announcement of the new release date, so both teams were completely aware that a clash was on the horizon. It was all handled transparently and cordially.”
