But it won’t have a solo run. Joining the race is the much-talked-about romantic comedy ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor. On Monday, the makers unveiled striking character posters of the lead pair and confirmed the same release date as October 2, 2025. The internet instantly lit up, and so did the fan wars.

While the announcement thrilled Varun and Janhvi’s fans, some netizens weren’t too happy about the film locking horns with a powerhouse like Kantara. One comment read, “Kantara ke samne maat lao,” while another said, “Clashing with mighty Kantara? Risky move!” Clearly, social media is already divided.
But wait, there’s more. Also stepping into this cinematic battle is ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’, featuring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa. Yes, a third contender in this crowded release window!
