Produced by Ramesh Taurani and directed by David Dhawan, the film aims to give the audience a "whirlwind of romance, chaos and classic Bollywood flair with a fresh, modern twist."

Interestingly, the movie's title is derived from the hit song 'Ishq Sona Hai' from David Dhawan's blockbuster film 'Biwi No.1', which starred Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor and Sushmita Sen.

Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Shergill, Mouni Roy, Chunkey Panday, Rakesh Bedi, and Ali Asgar will also be seen in key roles in the film, which is currently being shot in the UK.

Varun is also preparing for Border 2, which brings together a powerful cast including Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. Directed by Anurag Singh, the movie is a follow-up to the 1997 war film Border, a major hit that depicted the 1971 India-Pakistan war.

Excited for this father-son duo! David Dhawan's comedies are legendary and Varun has great comic timing. Hope they recreate the magic of 90s masala films with a modern touch. April 2026 seems so far though! 😅

The cast looks amazing with Mrunal and Pooja Hegde! But honestly, I'm more excited about Border 2 - Sunny Deol and Varun together will be 🔥. Jai Hind!

Another David Dhawan comedy? Feels like same old wine in new bottle. Wish Bollywood would come up with fresh concepts instead of remixing 90s hits. The title is literally taken from Biwi No.1 song!

Shooting in UK means another NRI love story? 😂 But I'll watch anything with Varun Dhawan - he's such a complete package of dance, comedy and charm. Mouni Roy is also underrated, glad she's getting good roles!

April 2026 is 2 years away! Kya hum itna intezaar kar payenge? Meanwhile, Border 2 will release first - that's my priority watch for patriotic feels. Jai Jawaan Jai Kisaan!

Love that they're bringing back the classic Bollywood flair! Sometimes we just need lighthearted entertainment after a long day. Hope they include some nostalgic references for us 90s kids 🤩
