Ananya Panday and Lakshya’s upcoming romantic musical drama, Chand Mera Dil, has officially locked inits theatrical release date, bringing fresh excitement to Bollywood’s 2026 slate. The Dharma Productions-backed film, directed by Vivek Soni, is set to hit cinemas on May 8, 2026, marking a spring-summer debut for what promises to be one of the season’s most anticipated love stories.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the news on social media, confirming that Chand Mera Dil will arrive on the big screen on May 8 next year.

The film stars Ananya Panday and Lakshya in the lead roles — a pairing that marks their first on-screen collaboration. Backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, the project has been marketed as an “intense musical love story,” blending modern romance with memorable music and rich emotional stakes. Its marketing so far has emphasized the chemistry between the two leads, with posters showcasing intimate moments and settings ranging from cozy indoors to scenic seaside backdrops bathed in moonlight.

Chand Mera Dil’s release date announcement comes after months of anticipation and speculation among fans and industry insiders alike. Originally planned for an earlier release window and first announced in late 2024, the film’s debut was postponed to 2026, heightening interest and curiosity around how the youthful narrative and musical elements will unfold.

The film is directed by Vivek Soni, who has gained recognition for his work on romantic-driven projects, and it carries Dharma Productions’ signature storytelling style that often emphasizes heartfelt relationships and emotional depth. With its soulful soundtrack expected to play a significant role, Chand Mera Dil is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of contemporary Bollywood romance.

Laskhya's last Netflix series The Ba***ds of Bollywood, featured Sahher Bambba, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Bobby Deol, Gautami Kapoor, Vijayant Kohli, Rajat Bedi, Manish Chaudhari and others in key roles.
