Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai first look: Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hedge and Mrunal Thakur's film mirrors Govinda's Sandwich

  • On Tuesday, April 14, the makers of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai unveiled a first-look teaser starring Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde. The film is slated for worldwide theatrical release on May 22.
  • Helmed by director David Dhawan, the project marks his 46th directorial effort and his fourth collaboration with son Varun, reuniting with producer Ramesh Taurani and Tips Films. The release date has shifted several times previously.
  • The teaser introduces the plot through two AI-generated infants who discover their fathers share the name Jass. Varun plays Jass, while Mrunal portrays avatars Poo and Parvati, and Pooja appears as a party animal in the 'double trouble love story.'
  • Viewers noted similarities to Govinda's 2006 film Sandwich, with some fans criticizing the heavy use of AI in promotional footage. One fan wrote, 'These babies are AI but they look cute.. They tried to recreated the moment from Sandwich movie.'
  • The ensemble cast includes Maniesh Paul, Chunky Pandey, Jimmy Shergill, and Mouni Roy, delivering a high-energy entertainer with colorful, loud storytelling. The film promises to be a vibrant addition to the late-May theatrical landscape.
