'Chand Mera Dil': Ananya Panday and Lakshya starrer romantic drama postponed? Here's what we know

‘Chand Mera Dil’ has a new release date. The makers have postponed the romantic drama and confirmed that the film will now arrive in theaters on May 8, 2026. The project stars Ananya Panday and Lakshya in the lead roles and marks a fresh pairing aimed at younger audiences. The studio described the film as an “intense, emotionally rich musical love story,” setting expectations for a romance driven by music and emotion while staying rooted in a modern setting.

'Chand Mera Dil' release date confirmed for May 2026

The banner behind the movie announced the film's release date as May 8, 2026. The studio had previously planned a 2025 release but opted to push it. The move gives the team more time to position the film and build anticipation around the new on-screen pairing. Industry trackers note that the May window often favors romantic titles with strong music.

Lakshya comes into the film with momentum from ‘Kill’ and ‘Ba***ds of Bollywood.’ With ‘Chand Mera Dil,’ he pivots into romance, giving him room to play softer notes and a more emotional lead. Panday continues to expand her slate with roles aimed at younger viewers, and the pairing has already sparked online chatter. Trade reports suggest the chemistry between the two actors is a key focus of the film’s pitch.

Vivek Soni directs the romantic drama

Directed by Vivek Soni, ‘Chand Mera Dil’ aims to balance classic romance with present-day sensibilities. Music is central to the film’s approach. The songs are designed to move the story forward and set the emotional tone, not just fill space. The makers are also aiming for a contemporary romance, keeping the relationship grounded and modern rather than framing it as an old-school love story.
