Tiger Shroff, Janhvi Kapoor, and Lakshya’s action-romance Lag Jaa Gale faces a major delay, with filming now extended till October 2026 instead of wrapping in April.
Originally slated for a three-month nonstop shoot starting January under director Raj Mehta and Karan Johar’s production, the revenge drama hit a snag due to Lakshya’s dual commitments. He juggled scenes for Chand Mera Dil, requiring a shift from his rugged Lag Jaa Gale avatar—complete with longer hair—to a softer, shorter hairstyle. Now, regrowing his hair means rescheduling key action sequences, pushing the deadline by months.
Cast Balances Packed Schedules
The unit worked relentlessly for four months before easing up, granting actors breaks to avoid burnout. Tiger brings high-octane stunts as Lakshya’s rival, while Janhvi pairs romance with intensity in this Mumbai-shot saga aiming for a late 2026 release. Director Mehta, who took over from Johar, prioritizes perfection amid the logistical hiccups, ensuring the film’s blend of thrills and emotion stays intact.
Buzz Around the Big-Screen Clash
Fans await this fresh trio after Kill’s success propelled Lakshya, with Lag Jaa Gale promising Bad Newz-style chemistry between Janhvi and Tiger. The delay tests patience but underscores Bollywood’s growing focus on authentic character transformations. Insiders note future schedules will be staggered, targeting an October wrap to hit theaters soon after.
This setback highlights rising stars navigating multi-project demands, keeping Lag Jaa Gale as one of 2026’s most anticipated actioners
