The release date for Chand Mera Dil, starring Ananya Panday and Lakshya, has now been officially confirmed after several delays. The film was first announced by Dharma Productions in 2024, with an initial plan to release it in 2025. However, the project did not meet that timeline, and its release was postponed more than once.
There were later reports suggesting that the film might arrive in April 2026, but that plan also did not go ahead. The makers have now confirmed that the film will release in cinemas on May 22, 2026.
The film is directed by Vivek Soni and is described as a romantic drama. It is expected to focus on an emotional love story between the two lead characters. The tagline of the film, “Pyaar mein thoda paagal hona hi padta hai (One has to be a little crazy in love)” suggests that the story will explore intense and passionate relationships.
