Luv Ranjan commented on the newcomer lineup: Introducing newcomers is always a challenge, but it’s the one I genuinely look forward to. Fifteen years ago, I got that opportunity with Pyaar Ka Punchnama, and when something similar came along with Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar, I knew I didn’t want to let it pass.”

He added, “As a writer, creating a world for six new faces and watching them find their own rhythm within it was something I really enjoyed. When the people feel right, the story finds its own energy, and I’m excited for audiences to meet them.”

The team says the coming weeks will reveal more about the characters, story, and the romantic mess at the centre of the film, as promotional material unfolds ahead of the release. Presented by Luv Films and produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar is positioned as a fresh ensemble comedy rooted in love and friendship, with Anuj Saini at the helm for a new generation of audiences.
