Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, the mastermind behind emotional blockbusters such as Rockstar and Jab We Met, is back with a fresh untitled love story. The makers have locked June 12 as the big-screen debut, promising a theatrical treat this summer.
Backed by Applause Entertainment and Window Seat Films, with Mohit Chaudhary on board, the movie is wrapping up post-production under Ali’s direction and script. Fans will rejoice at the return of his dream team: A.R. Rahman on music and Irshad Kamil on lyrics, a combo that delivered magic in Rockstar, Highway, Tamasha, and more.
Leading the pack is Diljit Dosanjh, fresh off Amar Singh Chamkila, alongside rising stars Vedang Raina and Sharvari, with the legendary Naseeruddin Shah elevating the drama. At its core, the story explores profound bonds, love’s enduring strength, and heartbreak’s sting, expanding into a broader commentary on India’s emotional pulse.
Imtiaz Ali sums it up evocatively: ‘You’re there for me when others aren’t. Momin… Can love vanish forever? Can a heart’s home be stolen? The film boasts a huge heart and expansive canvas, but it’s intimately about one boy, one girl—and one country.’
For Dosanjh, it’s a sequel collaboration with Ali; for Raina and Sharvari, a career-defining break; and Shah brings unmatched depth. Hitting theaters on June 12, this poignant tale of love, loss, and self-discovery is poised to resonate deeply with audiences seeking heartfelt storytelling in cinema.
