However, the release ofToxic, headlined by Yash, was recently postponed from March 19 to June 4 due to the ongoing Middle East conflict affecting distribution plans.

The team ofHai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Haiclarified that June 5 had been announced several months ago, but recent developments prompted them to reconsider their release strategy. In their statement, the makers talked about the importance of maintaining a healthy atmosphere within the film industry. They noted that filmmakers supporting each other is better for the industry than competing unnecessarily on the same date.
Keeping that spirit of solidarity in mind, the team decided to move the release of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai by a week. The film will now arrive in theatres on June 12, 2026, allowing Toxic to enjoy a clear opening window.
