Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari: Akshay Oberoi To Join Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor’s Film

Ever since the announcement of Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumar, fans have been eager to know more about the storyline, cast, and all things in between. Helmed by Shashank Khaitan, the film will be released on April 18, 2025. Now, the buzz is that Akshay Oberoi has also been roped in to play a supporting character in the film.

A source revealed to Pinkvilla, “Akshay Oberoi has joined the cast of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari with Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor. He’ll be playing one of the main supporting leads.”

Earlier, it was reported that Rohit Saraf and Sanya Malhotra have also joined the cast. Pinkvilla had mentioned a source as saying, “It’s a pure family entertainer with romance in its backdrop, much like the kind of films that Shashank has made over the years.” The source added, “The premise of SSKTK is very close to the kind of films that Dharma is known for as it celebrates love with colour, music, scale, and a strong star cast. Joining Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor are Sanya and Rohit.”

The source also added that Sanya and Rohit would share a very interesting dynamic with Janhvi and Varun. “The makers are all set to take the film on floors in a fortnight. Apart from some international shoots, the journey on SSKTK begins with a schedule in Mumbai, followed by Rajasthan,” the source further added.

Earlier, reports were rife that the beloved ‘VARIA’ aka Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt were not returning for Dulhania 3. Varun and Alia were seen in the blockbuster films Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania by Shashank Khaitan. However, it was said that Alia would not be returning to the franchise, and Janhvi Kapoor was to fill her shoes in the third film. But it looks like Karan Johar has come up with a new franchise. The teaser introduces Varun and Janhvi’s character names set to a peppy song titled ‘Ishq Manzoor’. Check it out here:

Varun and Janhvi have a few movies in the making this year.

She also has Devara with Jr. NTR in the pipeline. The film marks her Telugu film industry debut. Varun and Janhvi have worked together in Nitesh Tiwari’s Bawaal.
