The first look for ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ opened with two allegedly AI-generated babies chatting about their parents, only to discover that both their fathers share the same name, Jass, played by Varun Dhawan. According to the Bollywood Hungama report, the production moved swiftly to put the rumors to rest. “It was purely a gimmick to get people talking about the film’s premise.” The clarification was further elaborated upon: “The makers wanted a quick, visually arresting way to set up the love triangle without revealing actual footage. AI babies were the pitch. It got greenlit for the teaser and stopped right there. There is no AI in the film.“
