Comparisons with Animal and Kabir Singh

The director revealed in an interview, “It doesn’t belong to the same space. There are similarities in how the characters have aggression and rage. But those are just the ingredients and not the story.”

“I never found Dhanush’s character in Raanjhanaa to be a stalker. It is just my perspective of a boy from Benaras, and that is his expression. I don’t understand why we take everything on ourselves. We are just telling stories to entertain,” added Rai.

Gulshan Kumar, T-Series, and Colour Yellow present ‘Tere Ishk Mein’, produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma, produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar. The film directed by Aanand L Rai and written by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav, is an A.R. Rahman musical with lyrics by Irshad Kamil. Starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, the film is scheduled to release worldwide in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on 28th November 2025.
