Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat teaser out: Alaya F and Karan Mehta set out to tell a swoon-worthy lovestory

Following the suspenseful thriller Dobaara, Anurag Kashyap is back with the swoon-worthy musical Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat. On Thursday, the first teaser for the movie was posted to social media. Alaya F and Karan Mehta, a newbie, both appear in the movie.

The teaser opens with Alaya portraying a schoolgirl who appears to be smitten with Karan's character. Gulzar's poetry and theories on love are heard in the voiceover as our leads fall in love and then break apart. Anurag posted a link to the song Mohabbat Se Hi Kranti Aayegi, which is featured in the teaser. Amit Trivedi will produce the music for the movie.

The Marrakech Film Festival hosted the global premiere of Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat. It was performed outside in Jemaa El Fna Square in Marrakech. Anurag Kashyap expressed his joy at having his film receive its world premiere at the festival.

In a statement, Anurag Kashyap exclaimed, "The story of the film has taken shape over the years with my conversations with my daughter and the GenZ, and to realise how our set beliefs and conditioning affect them. To realise that we are migrants to the world today (and) that they are a native too. This feels like a new inning and I am happy that it’s starting with this film".

Alaya thanked everyone on Instagram following the premiere. She posted a video montage from the festival with a lengthy caption expressing her appreciation and excitement.

The film, which is being backed by Zee Studios and Anurag Kashyap's Good Bad Films, will be released in India in January 2023.
