Diljit Dosanjh promotes 'Main Vapas Aaunga' with Imtiaz Ali after skipping his last film's promotions
Mumbai, April 5
Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film 'Main Vapas Aaunga', reunited with his 'Amar Singh Chamkila' team on Sunday.
The actor was seen promoting the upcoming film with Imtiaz Ali, Irshad Kamil, and the Oscar and Grammy-winning music composer A. R. Rahman.
This comes after Diljit missed the promotions of 'Border 2' earlier this year. The film, a big ticket entertainer marked the second chapter of the legacy title 'Border', and starred Sunny Deol and Suniel Shetty.
Meanwhile, 'Main Vapas Aaunga' marks Diljit's 2nd collaboration with Imtiaz Ali after the biopic 'Amar Singh Chamkila'. 'Main Vapas Aaunga' is a period romantic drama, and also stars Sharvari, Naseeruddin Shah and Vedang Raina. The film is set against the backdrop of the 1947 Partition of India, and explores themes of love, separation, migration, and memory.
The narrative is expected to follow a romantic relationship shaped and disrupted by historical upheaval, a recurring motif in Partition-era storytelling. The film also reunites Imtiaz Ali with A. R. Rahman, and his frequent collaborator, lyricist Irshad Kamil.
In January, the makers announced the release date for the film on social media with a post that read, "Imtiaz Ali's next, a charming story of love and longing to release in cinemas on 12th June, 2026. Applause Entertainment Presents, A Window Seat Films Production. Starring: Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, Sharvari, Naseeruddin Shah Directed by Imtiaz Ali Music by A.R. Rahman Lyrics by Irshad Kamil Produced by, Applause Entertainment, Window Seat Films, Mohit Choudhary".
Jointly backed by the production banners Applause Entertainment, Window Seat Films, and Mohit Choudhary, the film is set to debut in cinemas on June 12, 2026.

Interesting that he skipped Border 2 promotions. Maybe he's more passionate about artistic projects like this one with Imtiaz Ali rather than just commercial potboilers. Good for him.
A Partition-era love story with this cast and crew? Sounds like a potential masterpiece. Naseeruddin Shah's presence alone guarantees quality. High hopes!
While I'm looking forward to the film, I do wish actors would fulfill all promotional commitments. It's a bit unfair to the Border 2 team, no matter how you slice it.
🫨 2026 is so far away! But with Rahman on music, it will be worth the wait. Partition stories always hit hard. Hope they handle the historical sensitivity with care.
Diljit choosing this over a Sunny Deol film says a lot about where his priorities lie. He's building a solid filmography with meaningful roles. Respect.
