Veer Pahariya and Aparshakti Khurana Lead Nostalgic Rom-Com ‘Prem Keetanu’: Official Trailer Released

The makers of Prem Keetanu have officially unveiled the theatrical trailer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIvl0OgFRRo] for the upcoming feature, showcasing a throwback romantic comedy centered on youth, friendship, heartbreak, and college rivalries. Directed by Apoorv Singh Karki, the film aims to capture the classic aesthetic and tone of vintage Hindi commercial cinema.

The trailer introduces a narrative following two contrasting male leads—played by Veer Pahariya and Aparshakti Khurana—who find themselves competing for the affection of the same woman, portrayed by Aafiya Syed. Pahariya portrays an earnest, smitten protagonist navigating the complications of romantic devotion, while Khurana brings a stylized, assertive energy to his character as the rival suitor.

Aafiya Syed anchors the story as the focal point of the romantic conflict, with her character navigating the dual dynamics presented by both leads. Supporting actors Rakesh Bedi and Nikhil Vijay round out the primary ensemble, contributing comic relief and secondary plotlines centered on workplace and campus misadventures.

Musically, Prem Keetanu draws heavily from classic Hindi cinema structures, featuring retro-inspired tracks that accompany key emotional beats ranging from budding romance to heartbreak. The visual styling emphasizes vibrant color palettes and traditional commercial set pieces designed for big-screen presentation.

Produced by Gaurav Verma under the banner of Avanika Films, the project is presented in association with Phars Film and Bhawana Studios. The narrative explores themes of early adult relationships, professional ambitions, and personal growth against a backdrop of humorous misunderstandings.

Prem Keetanu is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on October 2, 2026.
