Mumbai, February 6, 2026:
Excitement around the upcoming romantic comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has hit a new high after behind-the-scenes footage from the film’s shoot went viral online. In the latest clips, actors Varun Dhawan and Mrunal Thakur were seen filming a sequence in which Mrunal appears to be portraying a pregnant character, sparking widespread discussion among fans and entertainment enthusiasts.
A video circulating on social platforms shows Mrunal Thakur dressed in a pink midi dress and a light blue jacket, sporting an artificial baby bump as she walks hand-in-hand with Varun Dhawan through what appears to be a busy street set in Mumbai. Varun, dressed in casual navy and denim, is seen guiding and walking alongside her, hinting at an emotional or pivotal sequence in the film.
Social media users reacted strongly to the images and videos, with many fans speculating about the plot details and character arcs, while others expressed excitement about seeing Vijay’s co-stars in such a unique narrative moment.
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai marks another collaboration between Varun Dhawan and acclaimed director David Dhawan. The project also stars Pooja Hegde and a talented ensemble that includes actors like Mouni Roy, Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Shergill, Chunky Panday, Rakesh Bedi, and Ali Asgar.
The film, produced under the Tips Films banner, is slated for release later this year and is expected to blend youthful romance, comedy, and family-oriented drama — a trademark style of the Dhawan-Varun partnership that previously delivered hits like Judwaa 2 and Coolie No.1.
