Ishq Phir Bhega: Imtiaz ali and Diljit Dosanjh’s New Journey

Imtiaz Ali and Diljit Dosanjh’s new love story, Baisakhi, will release in 2026.

Film Announcement

After the tremendous success of Amar Singh Chamkila, Imtiaz Ali and Diljit Dosanjh are reuniting.

This time, their story will be brought to life on screen in partnership with Applause Entertainment, Window Seat Films, and Reliance Entertainment.

Imtiaz’s mastery and Diljit’s charismatic presence ensure that this film will also capture people’s hearts.

Cast and Crew

In addition to Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, Sharvari, and Naseeruddin Shah will also play important roles in the film.

Furthermore, the team of A.R. Rahman for music, Irshad Kamil for lyrics, and Imtiaz Ali for direction have reunited three times—and each time, with better melodies and rhythms.

Story Concept

Imtiaz Ali says this is a tale of love that lives on in the heart even after it’s lost. The question arises: can love be lost?

Can memories of home be taken away from the heart? Love is the song that empowers us to face adversity and fills us with laughter.

The story is woven through the fabric of a boy, a girl, and a country.

From Mumbai to Punjab

The first schedule wrapped up in Mumbai, where the city’s pace and vibrancy energized the set.

Now, the team has arrived in Punjab—the land and streets that offer a true sense of connection.

All work will be completed by Baisakhi 2026, so that the film can bring smiles to your screens during the festive season.

Vision of the Production House

Sameer Nair says Applause Entertainment aims to fulfill dreams for the big screen around the world.

The true purpose of this fusion of Imtiaz’s story, AR Rahman-Irshad’s music, and Diljit-Vedang-Sharvari’s performances is to create a romance that transcends time and space.

Diljit’s Return

Diljit Dosanjh’s powerful performance in Chamkila earned him a nomination for the Best Performance International Emmy Award in 2025.

Expectations for his role in this new film are sky-high.

Why will it be special?

This isn’t just a romantic drama, but a blend of the depths of human relationships and the emotions of a nation.

Imtiaz’s innocence and open-mindedness, Rahman-Kamil’s magical melodies, and Diljit-Sharvari’s chemistry will make it a memorable experience.

Wait for the first glimpse, because this love story has just begun!
