In November last year, the makers unveiled a series of posters introducing the film’s romantic world. The visuals showcased Ananya and Lakshya in intimate, dreamy settings. From quiet indoor moments to a moonlit seaside conversation, hinting at an intense and passionate love story. Sharing the posters, Karan Johar wrote, “We have two chands ready to bring an intense & passionate love story like no other!!! Pyaar mein thoda paagal hona hi padta hai.”
Being a musical romance, the film’s soundtrack is expected to play a crucial role. According to sources, Karan Johar is personally overseeing the album to ensure the music leaves a lasting impact.
Chand Mera Dil marks Lakshya’s return to the big screen after his 2023 action film Kill. He was last seen in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut series The Ba*ds of Bollywood. Ananya Panday, meanwhile, began 2025 with Kesari Chapter 2 and followed it up with Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.
With its soulful music, fresh pairing and a spring 2026 release, Chand Mera Dil is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated romantic films of the year.Also Read: Chand Mera Dil: Ananya Panday & Lakshya to romance each other
