David Dhawan Talks Varun, Salman, SRK as 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' Gears Up

Fresh interviews frame his return as reputation repair through a family film, with nods to long-time collaborators.

Overview

  • Dhawan, in interviews on Tuesday and Wednesday, said social‑media attacks on Varun over Border 2 faded after release and added he cried watching his son’s performance.
  • He pointed to reports of shifting release plans for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, with some outlets citing May 22 and others mid‑June, after moves to avoid a clash with Yash’s Toxic.
  • He clarified that the much‑criticised AI baby imagery appeared only in the film’s first‑look video and not in the movie itself.
  • He praised Salman Khan’s trust on set, saying the star never questioned role balance in their films and that he could call him to shoot any time.
  • He explained he never teamed up with Shah Rukh Khan because they could not align schedules during a period when he was handling multiple films.
