Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari: Director Shashank Khaitan has given fans a delightful surprise by sharing behind-the-scenes (BTS) photos from the sets of his upcoming romantic comedy, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles, the film has been creating buzz since its announcement, and these candid glimpses have only added to the excitement. Produced by Karan Johar under Dharma Productions, the rom-com is set to release on 2nd October 2025. The team strategically chose Gandhi Jayanti, which coincides with Dussehra this year, to take advantage of the festive season.
Taking to Instagram, Shashank shared a heartfelt post about the film’s journey. In his note, he revealed the tough challenges he faced while shooting, including being diagnosed with Chikungunya last year. He wrote, “21st August 2025 – Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari – Film Wrap… 21 August 2024 – Exactly one year back, already suffering from crumbling Sciatica pain, I got detected with ‘Chikunguniya’. The body so badly inflamed, I broke into rashes, turning my face and body black. I was in pain, which I cannot describe or put into words. And on 28th August 2024, I had to leave for Udaipur for shoot. Doctors clearly told me, I needed three months of bedrest. Had I cancelled shoot, we would not get the location for at least another nine months and possibly this film would never happen.” Despite his health struggles, Shashank continued with the shoot, ensuring the project stayed on track.
