Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan have remained one of

Bollywood

’s most adored on-screen duos, winning hearts with their performances in Student of the Year and the Dulhania franchise. Recently, speculation about their reunion in Dulhania 3 gained traction after Alia’s intriguing response to a fan’s question.
During a special fan meet-up at a Mumbai restaurant on February 2, Alia interacted with her admirers over lunch. Pictures and videos from the event quickly circulated on social media, with one particular clip drawing significant attention. In the video, fans eagerly inquired about the possibility of her teaming up with Varun once again for the much-anticipated third installment of the franchise. While visibly delighted by the question, she pointed out a key factor, suggesting that a script would be necessary for the film to happen.
However, her response did little to dampen the fans' excitement. In a lighthearted moment, they enthusiastically responded that they would take it upon themselves to create one. Amused by their enthusiasm, Alia encouraged the idea, playfully suggesting that a

fan-written script

would be an innovative approach and urging them to go ahead with it.
The Alia-Varun pairing first won audiences over in Student of the Year (2012), followed by their successful romantic comedies Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014) and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017). Their effortless on-screen chemistry, combined with their close off-screen friendship, has cemented them as a beloved Bollywood pair.

Interestingly, the possibility of Dulhania 3 has been hinted at before. In 2023, filmmaker Karan Johar expressed his interest in continuing the franchise. He stated in an interview that the team wanted to develop the third installment, emphasizing that the Dulhania films had carved out a unique space in Bollywood’s love story genre.
With Karan’s confirmation and Alia’s playful response adding to the anticipation, excitement around Dulhania 3 continues to build. Whether the fans actually take up the challenge of writing the script or the filmmakers officially set the project in motion remains to be seen.
