The caption read: “Imtiaz Ali’s next, a charming story of love and longing to release in cinemas on 12th June, 2026. Applause Entertainment Presents, A Window Seat Films Production.

Described as a story with “a big heart,” the film promises to blend personal intimacy with a larger canvas. Imtiaz Ali, known for weaving love stories that linger long after the credits roll, shared a poetic reflection from Momin: “‘Tum mere paas hote ho goya, Jab koi doosra nahin hota’ (‘You are with me, however, when there is no one else’). Can love really be lost? Can home be taken away from someone’s heart?”

The director emphasised that the film is both deeply personal and expansive, exploring not just a boy and a girl, but also the heart of a country.
