Overview
- Ramesh Taurani, who told HT City on Monday, said the team will not change the June 5 date, confirming a clash with Peddi on June 4.
- Peddi is planned as a pan‑India launch in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, while Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is a Hindi rom‑com directed by David Dhawan.
- Release dates shifted after Yash’s Toxic moved off June 4, with HJTIHH cycling from June 5 to June 12 to May 22 before returning to June 5, and Peddi resetting to June 4 after earlier March and April targets.
- Trade coverage suggests Peddi’s wide Hindi rollout could pressure HJTIHH’s opening in northern markets, though box‑office results will depend on audience turnout.
- With about a month to go, promotions are expected to kick off, and Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan nodded to the showdown in playful Instagram posts.
