Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is reuniting with actor-musician Diljit Dosanjh for his next directorial venture, which is set to release in theatres in April 2026. The untitled film is scheduled to coincide with the festival of Baisakhi, promising audiences a story that blends heart, humour and emotional resonance.

According to a report by PTI, the upcoming film is described as a “charming story of love and longing.” This project marks the second collaboration between Ali and Dosanjh following their critically acclaimed and widely appreciated 2024 film “Amar Singh Chamkila,” which won hearts with its stirring music and soulful storytelling.

The new film will also feature an exciting ensemble cast that includes veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah along with rising stars Vedang Raina and Sharvari. With a contemporary tone and witty narrative, the story is said to explore the intricacies of human connection — a theme Imtiaz Ali has long been celebrated for, from ‘Jab We Met’ to ‘Tamasha.’

While the official title is yet to be revealed, industry insiders are already anticipating the film as one of the big releases of 2026, especially with the proven chemistry between Ali and Dosanjh, and a cast that balances legacy with fresh energy.

The announcement has sparked interest among fans who have been eager to see what Imtiaz Ali brings next after ‘Chamkila,’ a film that not only showcased Dosanjh’s versatility but also marked a stylistic and emotional return to form for the director. With Baisakhi being an important cultural moment, especially in Punjab, the release timing appears thoughtfully aligned to resonate with the themes of renewal and celebration.

Further details about the film’s title, music and production schedule are expected to be announced later this year.
