Directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, Dilkashi brings together a fresh and youthful cast, including Abhay Verma and Zahan Kapoor.

There’s a sense that the film is aiming to keep things simple and emotional, leaning into music and storytelling rather than spectacle.

Mohit Suri also made sure to cheer on the team, saying he “can’t wait for Dilkashi,” which adds to the growing curiosity around the project.

A big part of that excitement also comes from the music, with A. R. Rahman on board. His presence alone makes expectations soar, especially for a film that is being described as a romantic musical at its core.

Backed by producers Hansal Mehta and Sahil Saigal under True Story Films, Dilkashi feels like a project that is being put together with both care and intent. With its mix of fresh faces, experienced creators, and strong musical backing, it already feels like one of those films people will be quietly rooting for even before its release.
