Announced in December 2024, this quirky love story is directed by Sameer Vidwans, who previously helmed Kartik’s 2023 hit Satyaprem Ki Katha. The movie, produced by Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures, follows a lighthearted international journey of its lead pair and is eyeing a 2026 theatrical release.
