Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is returning to the big screen with another emotionally driven story, and Main Vaapas Aaunga is already generating strong buzz among audiences. Featuring Diljit Dosanjh in the lead role alongside Sharvari, Vedang Raina and veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, the film promises a narrative filled with love, memories and emotional longing. The recently unveiled trailer has particularly caught viewers’ attention for its heartfelt tone and visually rich storytelling.
The film appears to explore themes of separation, belonging and relationships that survive despite time and distance. Reports suggest that Main Vaapas Aaunga unfolds against the backdrop of the Partition era, weaving together emotions across different generations. The trailer hints at a story where memories continue to live on long after people and places have changed, staying true to Imtiaz Ali’s signature style of romance-driven storytelling.
The project also marks another collaboration between Imtiaz Ali and Diljit Dosanjh after Amar Singh Chamkila. Their previous partnership received widespread praise from audiences and critics, which has raised expectations around this new venture as well. Along with Diljit, Sharvari and Vedang Raina are expected to play significant roles, while Naseeruddin Shah adds further weight to the cast.
One of the biggest highlights surrounding the film is its music. Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman has reunited with Imtiaz Ali and lyricist Irshad Kamil for the project. Over the years, the trio has delivered memorable soundtracks in films such as Rockstar, Tamasha and Highway, making music lovers particularly excited about Main Vaapas Aaunga.
Rahman also recently shared the trailer on social media with an emotional message: “Can love really be lost? Can home be taken away from someone’s heart?” The line instantly resonated with fans online and seemed to reflect the emotional core of the film.
Produced by Birla Studios, Applause Entertainment and Window Seat Films, Main Vaapas Aaunga is scheduled to arrive in theatres on June 12, 2026.
