The motion poster for "Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari," starring Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan, has generated considerable buzz online, and Janhvi's boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya, is among those showing their support. The film, a Dharma Productions venture directed by Shashank Khaitan, is slated for release on October 2, 2025, coinciding with Dussehra.
Shikhar Pahariya's reaction to the motion poster was captured via Instagram, where he showed his enthusiasm with heart emojis and a "Tooo Goodd" comment. This public display of support comes amidst ongoing rumors and sightings of the couple together. Janhvi and Shikhar have been seen together at various events and locations, including a recent trip to London where they were photographed walking hand-in-hand. They also attended Wimbledon together.
The motion poster itself offers a glimpse into the film's rom-com storyline, teasing a "wicked plan" involving two heartbreakers. Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's chemistry is highlighted in the promotional material, along with the inclusion of Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf in key roles.
Janhvi and Shikhar's relationship has been a topic of interest for some time, with speculations and conjectures surrounding their status. Although Janhvi has neither confirmed nor denied the relationship directly, her appearances with Shikhar and his supportive gestures suggest a close bond. On "Koffee With Karan," when asked about dating Shikhar, Janhvi responded with a cryptic reference to the song "Nadaan Parindey Ghar Aaja," which Shikhar apparently used to sing to her.
Shikhar Pahariya comes from a political family as the grandson of former Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde. His mother, Smruti Shinde, is an actress, and his elder brother, Veer Pahariya, recently debuted in Bollywood.
"Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari" is expected to have a three-week solo run in theaters before Diwali. The film is directed by Shashank Khaitan, known for his work on the "Dulhania" series, and promises a blend of romance and comedy. The film's tagline, "Two heartbreakers and one wicked plan," hints at a potentially mischievous and entertaining plot.
