Harshvardhan Rane & Sonam Bajwa's 'Deewaniyat' gets a new title; here's why

Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s Romantic Drama Gets a New Title and Creative Direction

A significant shift is underway for the upcoming romance featuring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa. The film, which had been known as Deewaniyat, is now moving forward with a new identity — Deewane Ki Deewaniyat.

The retitling coincides with a behind-the-scenes change, as the project moves from its earlier producers at Vikir Films to its new home at Play DMF. Anshul Garg’s production company has been gaining ground in the industry, and this project is among its latest ventures.

Industry insiders suggest that once the transition in production was complete, the filmmakers took a step back to reassess the direction of the narrative. In the process, the team felt that the original title didn’t fully represent the revised tone and scope of the story. The new title is meant to offer a clearer window into the emotional dynamics and focus of the film.

While the core cast remains unchanged, the creative reset signals a more focused approach to storytelling. The emphasis appears to be on exploring complex relational themes, with the title pointing toward a relationship marked by intensity and layered emotions.

Production is currently in progress, with principal photography already underway at multiple locations. The team is working toward releasing promotional material soon, including a first-look poster and trailer under the film’s new banner.

Deewane Ki Deewaniyat joins a growing list of Hindi films that have undergone title revisions mid-process — a move often aimed at sharpening audience perception or aligning with evolving creative choices. Such changes also tend to generate curiosity, especially when paired with fresh production dynamics.

With Rane and Bajwa leading the cast and a new studio backing the vision, the film is being closely watched by both the trade and fans. All eyes are now on how the narrative will unfold — and whether the new name brings new resonance to the love story at its core.
