'Mr And Mrs Mahi' is directed by Sharan Sharma, who previously directed 'Gunjan Saxena:The Kargil Girl' which also starred Janhvi Kapoor. This film marks the second collaboration between Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor, who previously worked together in the film 'Roohi'.

In his social media post, Karan Johar expressed his deep connection to the project, writing, "Some films are more than just stories … they are so much more than celluloid love … they talk to the viewer about dreams and how many a time people closest to us can come in the way of our dreams … MR AND MRS MAHI is exceptionally close to our hearts.. and we can’t wait to share our campaign designs with you on Monday… but for now we have a release date!!! 31st MAY 2024!!! At a cinema near you!!!"

The film is being produced under the Dharma Productions banner, led by Karan Johar along with Hiroo Yash Johar and Apoorva Mehta. 'Mr And Mrs Mahi' is set against a cricket backdrop, and is expected to delve into the dynamics of personal relationships and professional dreams, hinting at emotional and relational complexities that often accompany sports careers.

The change in release date has sparked anticipation and curiosity among fans of the actors and the sport. Both Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor have garnered significant attention in their previous projects for their compelling performances, and their reunion in 'Mr And Mrs Mahi' is highly anticipated.

The narrative of the film, while centred around cricket, promises to offer a deeper look into the challenges and triumphs of chasing one’s dreams, especially when faced with opposition from those close to you.

As the promotional campaign for 'Mr And Mrs Mahi' is set to kick off soon, with more details expected to be unveiled on Monday following the announcement, excitement is building.
