While the plot of the drama "Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai" remains largely under wraps, it is believed to be inspired by the charm of classic 90s romantic comedies.

The project is produced by Ramesh Taurani. In addition to Varun and Pooja, the cast of the drama is also expected to include Mrunal Thakur, Kubbra Sait, Maniesh Paul, Rohit Saraf, Rajeev Khandelwal, Nitish Nirmal, and Sreeleela. Varun began shooting for "Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai" in July of last year.

Before filming began, Varun shared a fun video on his Instagram stories documenting his travel diaries with his co-star. The clip showed Pooja frantically searching for her phone on the flight, prompting Varun to tease her, saying, “It’s okay Pooja, get it together, you will survive, you’ll survive Pooja." He added, “Sit on your seat, wear your seatbelt".

Posting the video on her IG, Pooja responded, “I forgive you for this coz you found my phone for me #mess."

Varun will soon appear in "Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari" alongside Janhvi Kapoor. Meanwhile, Pooja has "Retro."
