After the commercial success of Good Newwz and Jug Jugg Jeeyo, director Raj Mehta is back — this time diving into the world of action and revenge with a fresh romantic pairing. As per an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, Mehta’s next directorial venture will star Tiger Shroff and Janhvi Kapoor together for the first time, under the banner of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
A First-Time Pairing in a Revenge Action Romance
Titled Lag Jaa Gale, the film is described as a revenge action love story, balancing high-octane sequences with deep emotional undertones. A source revealed:
“It’s a script Raj has been working on for a while. He wanted a fresh pairing and when he narrated the story to Tiger and Janhvi, they both instantly came on board.”
The film’s title — borrowed from the iconic Lata Mangeshkar song — hints at an emotional core beneath all the action.
High-Octane Action Meets Love and Drama
As expected, Lag Jaa Gale will feature spectacular action choreography, especially tailored for Tiger Shroff, who is known for his martial arts skills and stunt work. The makers are reportedly planning “path-breaking action sequences” to elevate the film’s theatrical appeal.
Shooting Timeline and Release Plans
The film is set to go on floors in October 2025, once:
- Tiger Shroff finishes promotions for Baaghi 4 (releasing September 5, 2025), and
- Janhvi Kapoor wraps the promotional campaign for Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsikumari.
Karan Johar’s Busy Slate
Producer Karan Johar, who recently attended the Cannes Film Festival for Homebound (starring Ishaan Khattar, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor), has a full pipeline for 2025:
- Dhadak 2
- Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsikumari
- Now, Lag Jaa Gale
With Lag Jaa Gale, Raj Mehta is stepping into new territory with action and revenge, backed by a fresh romantic pairing and Dharma’s signature production scale. The film promises to be one of the most anticipated big-screen spectacles of late 2025 or early 2026.
