Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer 'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui' to release on July 9

The announcement was made by T-Series on social media earlier today.

Posting a picture of the team, the production company wrote, "Abhishek Kapoor's #ChandigarhKareAashiqui starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor is all set for a theatrical release on 9th July 2021. A modern-day love story produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series and Pragya Kapoor's Guy in the Sky Pictures (sic)."

The shooting of the film had commenced in October last year in Chandigarh and was wrapped up in about 48 days.

Upon completing the movie, Khurrana had put a heartfelt note on Instagram writing, "Today, I feel immensely proud that our film is the first one in India to finish shooting an entire film while battling the coronavirus."

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui has been produced by Pragya Kapoor and Bhushan Kumar under their respective banners.

In the movie, Khurrana will be seen playing the role of a cross-functional athlete, while Kapoor will reportedly essay a transgender character.

"I have always wanted to work with Abhishek Kapoor...This feels like an amazing opportunity to be part of his vision," Kapoor had earlier said.

Khurrana, who delivered a number of hits in the past couple of years, has several other projects lined up, including the campus comedy Doctor G.

He was last seen in Gulabo Sitabo, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan.

Kapoor, on the other hand, has movies like Bell Bottom and Shamshera coming up. Both the projects are expected to hit the theaters this year.
