Dharma Productions’ Chand Mera Dil will release in theatres on May 22, 2026, bringing together Ananya Panday and Lakshya in a fresh pairing.
Directed by Vivek Soni, the film is being pitched as an intense love story and is set for a summer release, a window that has often favored music-led romances from the banner.
For Lakshya, the project marks another important step on the big screen after the critical praise for Kill and his turn in the series The Ba***ds of Bollywood. In Chand Mera Dil, he returns to a full-fledged romantic lead role.
Panday, who has worked regularly with Dharma Productions, continues her association with the banner through the film. Its tagline, “Pyaar mein thoda paagal hona hi padta hai”, points to a story built around heightened emotion and passion.
Soni, best known for Meenakshi Sundareshwar, makes the shift to theatrical storytelling with this project. The film also brings together Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla and Apoorva Mehta as part of a wider collaboration aimed at reviving big-screen romantic musicals.
With promotions yet to begin in full, the film’s music and overall emotional appeal are expected to play a key role in its run. For now, Chand Mera Dil is shaping up as one of the notable early-2026 releases to watch.
