Deepika Padukone’s YJHD vibes in Janhvi Kapoor’s geek-to-glam look from 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari'

The wait is finally over! The makers of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari have unveiled its motion poster, and it has already set the internet buzzing. Starring Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf, this upcoming rom-com promises a rollercoaster ride of love, fun, and plenty of chaos. What instantly caught everyone's attention was Janhvi Kapoor's dual avatars in the poster. In one frame, she's seen in a checkered shirt, glasses on, holding a file; a look that screams nerdy charm.

n the very next glimpse, she's all glam in a shimmery golden saree, oozing confidence and allure. Fans couldn't help but draw parallels to Deepika Padukone's Naina from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, who also transformed from the bespectacled "chashmish" with books to the stunning saree-clad beauty during Badtameez Dil.

That geek-to-glam arc became iconic in 2013, and it seems like Janhvi's character might just be echoing a similar journey. Varun Dhawan, meanwhile, is introduced as Sunny Sanskari, a flamboyant, larger-than-life persona brought alive through a vibrant collage of frames that reflect his quirky energy. The tagline, "Two heartbreakers and one wicked plan," hints at a playful plot where Sunny and Tulsi may just be plotting to shake up another couple's love story, the pair played by Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf. If the teaser is anything to go by, the movie will explore a clash of couples with plenty of drama, comedy, and heart.

The supporting cast adds more flavour, with Akshay Oberoi and Maniesh Paul joining the ensemble to deliver a full-fledged family entertainer. Backed by Karan Johar, the film is being promoted as a mix of romance, humour, and drama that appeals across generations.

Mark your calendars because Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is all set to release on October 2, 2025. According to reports, Johar handpicked the festival release to ensure maximum reach for what he believes will be one of the season's most talked-about romantic comedies.

With its nostalgic nod to YJHD, fresh pairing of Varun and Janhvi, and a promise of quirky romance, the motion poster has already done its job.
