Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is Shashank Khaitan's next directorial effort, and the makers have unveiled the film's motion poster, which showcases the ensemble cast and the film's energetic tone. The film stars Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor in titular roles.
The poster features Dhawan as an extravagant, larger-than-life character, portrayed in vibrant, gridded photo frames that mirror his extravagant personality. Kapoor's many styles, which span from glitzy elegance to nerdy charisma, make for a startling contrast. With the tagline "Two heartbreakers and one wicked plan", the plot is sure to be entertaining and full of unexpected turns. The motion poster also gives the idea that they are going to break up the other couple, played by Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf. The film will feature a clash between couples, and we must wait to see how the story unfolds.
In addition to the main characters, the film boasts an ensemble cast that should please families, including Akshay Oberoi and Maniesh Paul. The movie is marketed as an all-inclusive entertainment that combines romantic comedy, drama, and romance.

Fans will get a longer look at the film's style and plot in the teaser, which will be released on August 28, 2025, in addition to the motion poster, which has already created excitement.
The film will release on October 2, 2025, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti and Dussehra. Bollywood Hungama reports that Karan Johar meticulously selected the date. The source told the entertainment portal that the entire crew, including producer Karan Johar, decided that the occasion is the perfect moment to release this romantic comedy. This year, we celebrate both Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti on the same day. Therefore, he anticipates a joyful period that he hopes will remain uninterrupted until Diwali. That is to say, for the next three weeks, it will have a clear run.
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is Dhawan and Khaitan's third joint venture, following the smash hits Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014) and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017). Fans are hoping for a comedy, romantic, and family drama-filled film after this reunion.
However, the festival weekend will be challenging for audiences as the film faces competition from Kantara: A Legend — Chapter 1 and Harshvardhan Rane's Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat at the box office.
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari has all the makings of a romantic comedy classic, thanks to its stellar cast, seasoned director-actor chemistry, and festive release.
