The AI-driven concept triggered speculation online, with many wondering whether Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai itself relies heavily on artificial intelligence. Addressing these concerns, a source close to the production clarified that the use of AI was limited to the teaser

The makers of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai have responded to online chatter surrounding the film’s first look, which sparked debate over the use of artificial intelligence. Headlined by Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde, and directed by David Dhawan, the romantic comedy recently unveiled a teaser that left viewers both amused and confused.

The video opened with two AI-generated babies having a conversation about their parents, only to realise that their fathers share the same name - Jass, played by Varun.

The teaser then cut to glimpses of the actor romancing both Mrunal and Pooja, before ending with the babies calling it a “double trouble love story.” Sharing the clip, Varun wrote on social media, "#HaiJawaniTohIshqHonaHai a David Dhawan entertainer. First look out now! #redflag in cinemas on 22nd May 2026."

However, the AI-driven concept triggered speculation online, with many wondering whether the film itself relies heavily on artificial intelligence. Addressing these concerns, a source close to the production clarified that the use of AI was limited to the teaser.
