  • Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai postpones release to avoid clash
  • Yash's Toxic will now have a solo release on June 4, 2026
  • Both movies can now enjoy separate box office windows

The big clash between Yash’s movie Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups and Varun Dhawans romantic movie Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai has been averted. The makers of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai have decided to change the release date of their movie.

Yash starrer Toxic, which was originally slated to release on March 19, was recently postponed to June 4. And on that very day, Varun Dhawan’s next release was due to hit the screens as well.

The makers cited that the reason for delay was due to the Middle East tension, which made it hard for them to promote and distribute the movie.

This delay made Toxic compete with Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai which was already set to come out on June 5, 2026.

Now, the makers of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai have decided to change the release date of their movie to avoid any clash with a big budget Toxic.

Though the makers haven’t announced the new date but it means that both movies can have their own time at the box office.

Now that the competition is not going to happen Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups will have a solo release.

This movie is one of the anticipated movies of Yash and a lot of people are excited about it because of how successful the KGF movies were.

The movie has been directed by Geetu Mohandas and people are talking about how cool and stylish the story's how it is set in many different places.

Talking about Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, it stars Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, Pooja Hegde and Mouni Roy in the lead roles.

By not competing, both movies have a chance to do well at the box office.

For fans this means they can enjoy each movie without having to choose between two movies that come out on the same weekend. Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups and Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai can both be successful.
