Dhanush plays a jilted lover who makes an unexpected entry at his former beloved’s (played by Kriti Sanon) haldi ceremony in the teaser of Aanand L. Rai’s upcoming film Tere Ishk Mein, dropped by T-Series on Wednesday.

The two-minute-four-second-long video shows a bruised Dhanush waking up to Kriti’s character. He tells her that he had travelled to Varanasi to perform his father’s last rites. On his way back, he thought of bringing ‘ganga jal’ for her so that she can wash away her past sins before starting her married life.

The teaser is interspersed with glimpses of their intense past relationship.

Tere Ishk Mein marks Dhanush and director Aanand L. Rai’s reunion four years after their last collaboration, Atrangi Re (2021). The upcoming romance drama also serves as a sequel to the 2013 film Raanjhanaa, which starred Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor.

Raanjhanaa also explores the pain and challenges of unrequited love. It narrates the story of Kundan (Dhanush), the son of a Hindu pundit, who discovers that his childhood sweetheart Zoya (Sonam) loves city-bred Akram (Abhay) and wants to marry him. However, he persistently seeks to win her heart, ultimately sacrificing his life for her.

Set to hit theatres on November 28 in Hindi and Tamil, Tere Ishk Mein is backed by T-series and Color Yellow Production. The background score for the film is composed by A.R. Rahman, who also composed the music for Raanjhanaa. The screenplay for Tere Ishk Mein is developed by Raanjhanaa screenwriter Himanshu Sharma.

Rai and Sharma have collaborated on multiple projects, including Tanu Weds Manu (2011), Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Zero (2018), and Atrangi Re.
