Dhanush and Kriti Sanon Wrap Tere Ishk Mein—Aanand L Rai’s Most Intense Love Story Yet
Filming ends on Aanand L Rai’s emotional new drama Tere Ishk Mein, with Dhanush returning in a haunting new avatar and Kriti Sanon stepping into uncharted territory.
Aanand L Rai’s next big swing at love and longing—Tere Ishk Mein—has officially finished filming, and if the mood of that wrap photo is anything to go by, we’re not getting out of this one emotionally unscathed. The film brings Dhanush and Kriti Sanon together for the first time, and while that pairing might’ve seemed unlikely a few years ago, now it feels kind of electric. Her polished charm. His raw volatility. Something’s bound to spark—or combust.
And no, this isn’t a Raanjhanaa sequel. But call it a spiritual sibling, a parallel heartbreak multiverse, whatever you want. Dhanush isn’t Kundan anymore—he’s Shankar, and if that teaser line didn’t chill your spine—“Pichli baar toh Kundan tha… par iss baar Shankar ko kaise rokoge?”—you might need to listen again. Slower this time.
We’re in for something darker. Maybe even angrier.
The official announcement came via Instagram, quiet in words but loud in imagery. The caption? Just a simple: “And that’s a wrap.” But the photo said more—a pair of hands, streaked with blood, clasping like they’re the last two left on Earth. Love story? Sure. But it’s not the fairy-tale kind.
Kriti, speaking briefly at IIFA earlier this month, described the film as “genre-defying.” For her, that’s saying something. She’s been on a roll lately, pivoting between breezy crowd-pleasers and layered dramas. This time, she’s playing Mukti—just that name hints at something deeper. Escape? Freedom? A reckoning? Whatever it is, it’s not going to be basic.
Behind the camera, Rai is reunited with his trusted collaborator Himanshu Sharma on script. And A.R. Rahman is scoring the film, which, frankly, might be reason enough to buy a ticket. There’s no one better at stitching together heartbreak, longing, and spiritual chaos through sound. Add Irshad Kamil’s lyrics into that mix, and it’s shaping up to be the kind of soundtrack you cry to at 2am.
Here’s what’s exciting: Tere Ishk Mein isn’t chasing trends. It’s doubling down on emotional storytelling, on mess and memory and people who can’t seem to let each other go—even when they should. That’s where Rai thrives. And with a bilingual release locked in—Hindi and Tamil—the film isn’t just reaching across languages. It’s betting on Dhanush’s pan-India pull in a big way.
Fans are already in their feelings. The comment sections under the teaser and wrap post are full of soft-core meltdowns—people asking if they’re emotionally ready, others still mourning Kundan a decade later. There’s a hunger for this kind of story again. A love story that doesn’t just flirt with pain, but sits in it, stews in it.
November 28, 2025. That’s the date to circle. The leaves will be turning, the playlists will get sadder, and Rai’s world of bruised hearts and lyrical longing will be back on screen.
Whatever Tere Ishk Mein turns out to be—a rebirth, a requiem, a romance with teeth—it’s got our full attention.
