Aanand L Rai Opens Up About Tere Ishk Mein
After years of anticipation, filmmaker Aanand L Rai and actor Dhanush are reuniting for their next cinematic journey, Tere Ishk Mein. The duo, known for crafting one of Indian cinema’s most poignant portrayals of love and heartbreak, return not to revisit old memories but to complete an emotional dialogue that began years ago.
Speaking about the film, Aanand L Rai shared, “After our previous collaboration, there were feelings we could never completely move past. Dhanush and I often found ourselves reflecting on those emotions — how love evolves when innocence fades and when time alters people. Tere Ishk Mein was born from that unfinished emotion.” – Aanand L Rai Opens Up About Tere Ishk Mein
The film brings together a powerhouse creative team — music maestro A.R. Rahman, lyricist Irshad Kamil, and producer Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, along with Rai’s Colour Yellow Productions. Known for blending soulful music with authentic storytelling, this team aims to deliver a cinematic experience that feels both intimate and timeless.
For Rai, Tere Ishk Mein is more than just another romantic drama; it’s a deeply personal exploration of love’s evolution. “It’s about where we are today — older, wiser, carrying our scars, and still searching,” he said.
The film delves into the raw, untidy side of love — the kind that consumes, transforms, and lingers long after it ends. The teaser promises an emotionally charged story soaked in passion and pain, echoing with Rahman’s haunting melodies. – Aanand L Rai Opens Up About Tere Ishk Mein
Featuring Dhanush’s understated depth and Kriti Sanon’s powerful presence, Tere Ishk Mein aims to revive the lost magic of cinematic romance — the kind that is imperfect, real, and profoundly human.
As Rai beautifully sums up, “This isn’t a story about how love begins — it’s about what it makes of us by the time it ends.”
Produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma in association with Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar, Tere Ishk Mein is an A.R. Rahman musical with lyrics by Irshad Kamil. Starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, the film will release worldwide in Hindi and Tamil on November 28, 2025 under the banners of T-Series and Colour Yellow Productions.
