Rasha Thadani and Abhay Verma for Laikey Laikaa

Marking their first collaboration, Abhay Verma and Rasha Thadani have teamed up for the upcoming film Laikey Laikaa. The project, which was confirmed on June 11, 2025, through a playful announcement video, has officially locked Summer 2026 as the release window. Now, the makers unveiled several posters featuring Rasha and Abhay.

Will Laikey Laikaa explore a unique take on romance?

The makers unveiled the first posters of Laikey Laikaa featuring Rasha Thadani and Abhay Verma. Sharing the posters, they captioned with, "Love. Pain. Trust." Throughout the images, Rasha and Abhay are shown in deeply emotional and vulnerable moments, kissing in a narrow, decaying alley, clinging to each other with bloodied faces, and locked eyes that carry love and fear in equal measure. Their chemistry feels obsessive and consuming, as if love is both their refuge and their destruction.

The visible palette is quite rough and gloomy: cracked walls, peeling paint, graffiti-like textures, and splashes of teal, rust, and red. Blood speckles on skin and clothes hint at violence, conflict, and survival, while the recurring heart-shaped “Laikey Laikaa” logo, painted like street art, symbolises love that’s bruised but beating.

Rasha Thadani looks soft and ghostly, wrapped in a dupatta, eyes heavy with longing and resilience. On the other hand, Abhay Verma looks worried and restless, his expression radiating anger, restraint, and inner turmoil.

Hand-made hearts, heads leaning against each other, and intense close-up shots hint at a relationship built on love, pain, and trust - just as the tagline promises. The images hint at a dark romantic drama with thriller undertones – messy, emotional, and suspenseful – set to hit theaters in the summer of 2026.
