Mumbai, May 23
The popular father and son duo, David and Varun Dhawan, have come together for the romantic entertainer, "Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai".
During the trailer launch event of the much-anticipated drama on Saturday, David got emotional as he recalled his hospital days and how Varun took care of him and stood by him during the challenging time.
David revealed that Varun even used to sleep in the hospital to accompany his father.
A teary-eyed director shared that every father deserves to have a son like Varun.
The filmmaker was heard saying, "Everybody should have a son like that. In the hospital also, he used to sleep there with me. So, you know what more do you want."
"As an actor, he is improving; what you want he can give you that. But, as a father, if I tell you, I mean everybody should have a son like that," added David Dhawan.
"Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai" marks the 4th collaboration of David and Varun. Prior to this, they have delivered movies such as "Main Tera Hero" (2014), "Judwaa 2" (2017), and "Coolie No. 1" (2020).
Coming back to the family entertainer, the film enjoys an ensemble cast with Varun, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde in the lead, accompanied by Mouni Roy, Chunky Panday, Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Shergill, Rakesh Bedi, and Ali Asgar in supporting roles.
Shedding light on his next, David Dhawan said, "This is my 46th film, and entertaining my audience continues to give me the biggest joy. The film has all the ingredients of a classic family entertainer - humour, confusion, music, and heart."
Backed by Tips Films Ltd, along with Maximilian Films (UK), "Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai" will be released in the cinema halls on June 5 this year.

As a daughter, I can totally relate to this. Our parents are everything. But honestly, this kind of emotional outburst from David Dhawan during a trailer launch feels a bit staged for publicity. Still, if Varun truly took care of his father like that, respect to him! Not many star kids are so dedicated.
Varun is indeed a good actor and a great son. But let's not forget, David Dhawan himself has worked hard to bring comfort to his family. This is just a cycle of love and care. The film looks like a typical David Dhawan entertainer - hope it brings back the magic of his 90s comedies! 🎬
Emotional moments aside, I'm actually excited for "Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai". The cast is fantastic - Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde together? Yes please! And David Dhawan's comedies always have that masala factor that works with Indian audiences. June 5 can't come soon enough! 🎉
David ji is such a proud father, and it's beautiful to see. But I wish people would stop making everything about family emotions when promoting movies. It feels a bit manipulative. Let's judge the film on its content, not on sentimental stories. Still, wishing them all the best for the release! 🌸
Varun Dhawan is a gem. From being a star kid to becoming one of Bollywood's most bankable actors, he's done everything with grace. And this father-son bond? It reminds
