Kriti Sanon Joins Dhanush in the Love Saga ‘Tere Ishk Mein’


Fans of Bollywood are in for a treat with the upcoming love saga, Tere Ishk Mein, which marks the highly anticipated collaboration between director Aanand L. Rai and actor Dhanush for the third time.

Known for their iconic partnerships in Raanjhanaa (2013) and Atrangi Re (2021), this new project is stirring excitement in the industry. With a captivating teaser already out, fans can’t help but feel the anticipation building up for yet another emotional and intense journey into love, heartbreak, and resilience.

A Reunion After 12 Years: Dhanush and Aanand L. Rai

It’s been almost 12 years since Dhanush and Aanand L. Rai first collaborated in Raanjhanaa, a film that left a lasting impact on audiences with its heartfelt performances and poignant storytelling. The reunion has been long awaited, and now, with Tere Ishk Mein, they are set to bring a fresh, passionate love story to the silver screen. Tere Ishk Mein is not only their third collaboration but also the latest addition to a partnership that has given Bollywood some unforgettable cinematic moments.

In this upcoming film, Dhanush stars in the lead role once again, but this time, Kriti Sanon is joining him as the female protagonist. After the success of Raanjhanaa with Sonam Kapoor, Tere Ishk Mein introduces Kriti as the new leading lady who will break Dhanush’s heart in ways that fans are already eager to witness.

The Teasers That Have Fans Hooked

The film’s teaser has already given us a glimpse into what to expect, and it’s clear that this is going to be a love story filled with emotional intensity. The first teaser of Tere Ishk Mein showcased Dhanush’s aggressive emotions, hinting at the tumultuous relationship that will unfold. But it’s the second teaser that truly gives fans a taste of what Kriti Sanon will bring to the table.

In this teaser, Kriti’s character is shown in the midst of chaos and turmoil. Amid the riots, she is seen spraying petrol on herself, followed by the dramatic moment of lighting a cigarette. The teaser ends with her fiery gesture, signaling that her character is not one to be taken lightly. In her Instagram post sharing the teaser, Kriti wrote, “Some love stories are meant to emerge from the flames. Shankar and Mukti are proof of this… in Tere Ishk Mein.” This fiery depiction of her character, Mukti, seems to promise an intense journey of love, sacrifice, and resilience.

A South Indian Influence

Interestingly, Tere Ishk Mein also marks Kriti Sanon’s second film where she will be involved in a South Indian language version or dubbing. Her previous project, Adipurush with Prabhas, was a Pan-India film released in five languages. In Tere Ishk Mein, Kriti’s role will likely be dubbed in multiple languages, expanding the film’s reach across audiences who enjoy regional cinema. This aspect of the film’s release adds an exciting layer to its potential appeal.

Release Date and Global Expectations

Fans don’t have to wait too long to experience Tere Ishk Mein—the film is set for release on November 28, 2025. It will be available in both Hindi and Tamil exclusively in theaters. This bilingual release is a strategic move to cater to a larger audience base, both within India and internationally. The inclusion of Tamil adds to the movie’s potential to capture the attention of South Indian film fans, further broadening the reach of this collaboration.

On the work front, Kriti Sanon was last seen in her home production, Do Patti, and her pairing with Dhanush in Tere Ishk Mein is expected to generate significant buzz. Meanwhile, Dhanush has been busy with projects like Captain Miller and Raayan, and fans are excited to see him return to Bollywood for a film that promises to be emotionally rich and visually stunning.

Fans React: “Can’t Wait!”

The reaction from fans has been nothing short of ecstatic. The announcement of this pairing has sparked a flurry of comments on social media, with many fans expressing excitement over the chance to witness Dhanush and Kriti Sanon’s chemistry on-screen. Given the success of Raanjhanaa, there are high expectations for Tere Ishk Mein to tap into the same emotional depth, with fans eager to experience the ‘World of Raanjhanaa’ once again. The chemistry between Dhanush and Kriti promises to add a fresh dimension to the familiar world of passionate love stories that Rai is known for.
