The film will redefine rom-coms with its fresh storyline from the Hindi heartland.”

Talking about the poster, Rai added, “With Nakhrewaalii we are most proud of our discovery of Ansh and Pragati, they are bundled with talent and freshness and I can’t wait for the audience to experience this duo’s energy in theatres on Valentine’s Day 2025.”

Directed by Rahul Shanklya and written by Divy Nidhi Sharma, Nakhrewaalii is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma.

‘Nakhrewaalii’ promises to be a complete entertainer, offering a plethora of emotions that will strike a chord with audiences across India. A glimpse of the film’s theme can be seen in the introductory video, which is sure to pique your interest in this romantic comedy.

Earlier, talking about his debut film, actor Ansh Duggal expressed excitement and wrote, “I am thrilled and honoured to be making my acting debut with Anand sir and our director Rahul Shanklya.
