Filmmaker Luv Ranjan’s upcoming friendship-comedy Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar has unveiled its first look, introducing six newcomers who will lead the film. The movie, directed by Anuj Saini and produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, is scheduled to release in cinemas on October 23, 2026.
The six actors making their acting debuts with the film are Alisha Chopra, Sparsh Walia, Sakshi Vaidya, Kunal Vaid, Sargun Kaur Luthra and Tushar Chhibber. The first-look poster brings the newcomers together in colourful, playful poses, offering an early glimpse into the film’s youthful take on friendship and relationships.
The makers have also released a promotional video ahead of the trailer. Featuring comedians Anubhav Singh Bassi, Gurleen Pannu and Devesh Dixit, the video uses humour and playful banter to introduce the six debutants and build anticipation for the film.
The promotional campaign hints at a story centred on friendship, first love and complicated relationships. The film’s tagline, “Purane Crush, Paapi Dost aur Pehla Pyaar. Red flags hi Red Flags,” reflects its comic approach to the ups and downs of young relationships.
The promotional video also sees the comedians joking about the newcomers and playfully questioning whether the film could be seen as another instalment in the Pyaar Ka Punchnama universe.
Presented by Luv Films, Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar marks the acting debut of its six-member cast. With its promotional campaign now underway, the film is set to bring a fresh ensemble to the big screen when it arrives in theatres on October 23.
