Aanand L Rai says Tere Ishk Mein could only happen now, and only with Dhanush : Bollywood News

Years after they created one of the most memorable portrayals of love and longing, Aanand L Rai and Dhanush are back together, not to recreate the past, but to finish a conversation they started years ago. Tere Ishk Mein marks the return of a creative duo whose chemistry thrives on intensity and truth.

Aanand L Rai says Tere Ishk Mein could only happen now, and only with Dhanush

Director Aanand L Rai shares, “After our last film, there were emotions we never fully let go of. Dhanush and I kept revisiting that space, what happens to love when innocence fades, when time changes people. Tere Ishk Mein grew from that unfinished thought.”

The film reunites Rai and Dhanush with composer A.R. Rahman, lyricist Irshad Kamil, and visionary producer Bhushan Kumar (T-Series) and Rai’s Colour Yellow, a team that knows how to weave music and emotion into something cinematic. Together, they’ve created a story that feels rooted yet timeless, intimate yet larger than life.

For Aanand L Rai, Tere Ishk Mein isn’t just another love story. It’s a reflection of where he and his characters stand today; older, scarred, and still searching.

At its core, Tere Ishk Mein explores the kind of love that refuses to stay neat or defined. It’s about people who love deeply and lose completely, and how that loss shapes who they become. The teaser hints at a film drenched in emotion, the kind that lingers long after the credits roll.

With Dhanush’s quiet intensity, Kriti’s strong strong headed persona, and A.R. Rahman’s haunting music, Tere Ishk Mein promises to bring back the essence of cinematic romance, one that’s raw, imperfect, and achingly human.

Tere Ishk Mein isn’t about where love begins, but what it turns us into by the time it ends.

Gulshan Kumar, T-Series, and Colour Yellow present Tere Ishk Mein, produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma, produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar. The film directed by Aanand L Rai and written by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav, is an A.R. Rahman musical with lyrics by Irshad Kamil. Starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, the film is scheduled to release worldwide in Hindi and Tamil on 28th November 2025.
