Today, the team behind Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, featuring stars Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, has officially revealed a new release date for the film. This romantic comedy, produced by Dharma Productions, will now debut in theaters on September 12, 2025. This change has led to discussions about how it will affect other significant film releases, including Varun Dhawan’s upcoming project, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, as well as the eagerly anticipated Kantara Chapter 1.
Fans were excitedly waiting for the film’s previous release date of April 18, 2025. Directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced under Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari boasts a strong cast that includes Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Maniesh Paul, and Akshay Oberoi.
Why the Change in Date?
While the producers haven’t officially explained the reasons for the delay, reports suggest that they aim to expand the film’s scope and improve its overall quality. Earlier in the year, it was reported that additional shoots, including two new songs and scenes for a destination wedding, were planned to enhance the film’s entertainment value. This extended production timeline has resulted in the new release date of September 12, 2025.
This new date positions Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari as a key mid-year release, allowing it to attract audiences before the busy festive season. Unfortunately for fans of Varun Dhawan, this means they will have to wait longer to see him back on screen alongside Janhvi Kapoor.
Impact on Other Films
The change in release date has raised questions about the status of Varun Dhawan’s other upcoming film, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. Directed by his father, David Dhawan, and produced by Tips Industries, this comedy was initially set to release on October 2, 2025, in line with Gandhi Jayanti. Entertainment journalist Rahul Raut shared on social media that the latest announcement regarding Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari might force Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai to move its date.
However, the team behind Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has not yet confirmed any postponement. For now, moviegoers will have to wait for an official update regarding its release status. If a shift does happen, it could help avoid a clash at the box office, ensuring both films get a fair chance to shine.
Additionally, Raut’s tweet hinted that Kantara Chapter 1, the prequel to the successful Kantara from 2022, might opt for a solo release on October 2, 2025. A standalone Gandhi Jayanti release could allow this film to capitalize on its predecessor’s strong following, potentially leading to a successful run at the box office.
