The “Rishta” is officially fixed, but this time, it comes with a massive twist. On February 12, 2026, the makers of the highly anticipated sequel, Ginny Wedss Sunny 2, sent social media into a frenzy by unveiling the film’s vibrant first-look poster. Breaking away from its predecessor’s digital-first route, the sequel is marching straight to the big screen, with a confirmed theatrical release date of April 24, 2026.
The film introduces a fresh and dynamic lead pair: the versatile Avinash Tiwary and the breakout star of 12th Fail, Medha Shankr. Presented by Zee Studios and Soundrya Production, the movie promises to be a quintessential family entertainer packed with the chaotic charm of Indian weddings.
The newly released poster perfectly captures the film’s mismatched energy. It features Avinash Tiwary in a rugged, bare-chested avatar, performing push-ups with heavy dumbbells, while a saree-clad Medha Shankr sits nonchalantly on his back. The visual contrast—a tough, disciplined wrestler paired with a carefree, free-spirited girl—instantly sets the tone for a romantic comedy fuelled by situational humour and cultural clashes.
The makers shared the poster with a playful caption:
“Ginny and Sunny are Back! Rishta fixed hai bas iss bar thoda sa Twist hai! #GinnyWedssSunny2 arrives in cinemas on 24th April!”
While the original 2020 film starred Vikrant Massey and Yami Gautam, the sequel opts for a “spiritual successor” approach with a brand-new cast.
- Avinash Tiwary: Known for his intense roles in Laila Majnu and Bulbbul, Tiwary is stepping into a lighter, more commercial space. He recently expressed his excitement, calling the project a “true family entertainer” that will bring laughter to every household.
- Medha Shankr: Following her acclaimed performance in 12th Fail, Shankr makes her much-anticipated return to the big screen. Her transition from a serious drama to a high-energy rom-com is already generating significant buzz among critics and fans alike.
The sequel boasts a strong creative backbone, led by Prasshant Jha, who serves as both the writer and director. Jha’s vision reportedly focuses on the heartland of India, blending small-town warmth with the high-stakes drama of a desi wedding.
The film is produced by veteran Vinod Bachchan—the man behind hits like Tanu Weds Manu and Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana—alongside Umesh Kumar Bansal. This production pedigree ensures that Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 will carry the same “shadi-centric” DNA that has made Bachchan’s previous films cult favourites.
To elevate the “family” aspect of this entertainer, the makers have assembled an eclectic supporting cast of seasoned veterans, including Lillete Dubey, Sudhir Pandey, Govind Namdev, Gopi Bhalla and Nayani Dixit.
This ensemble is expected to provide the friction and fun that typically drives the narrative in a Zee Studios worldwide release.
In a significant move, Zee Studios has opted for a worldwide theatrical release instead of an OTT premiere. While the first installment was a Netflix original released during the pandemic, the scale and visual vibrance of the sequel are designed specifically for the 70mm experience.
With the shooting already wrapped as of late 2025, the team is now moving into a high-gear marketing phase leading up to the April 24 launch.
By locking in a late April release, Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 positions itself as the primary choice for families during the summer vacation window. The combination of a wrestling backdrop, wedding festivities, and a fresh romantic pairing offers something for every demographic.
As Sunny and Ginny prepare to walk down the aisle—albeit with a “twist”—audiences can expect a soulful journey of unexpected love that proves some relationships are worth the chaos.
