Advance bookings in the US and Canada will open on June 5 for 'Main Vaapas Aaunga'.

Upcoming romantic drama 'Main Vaapas Aaunga', starring Diljit Dosanjh, is generating significant excitement among international audiences, with advance ticket bookings in North America set to open on June 5, a week ahead of the film’s theatrical release.

The early rollout of ticket sales in the United States and Canada reflects growing demand for the film among overseas moviegoers. Industry insiders say the move is uncommon for a Hindi-language release and highlights the strong anticipation surrounding the project in key international markets.

Also starring Sharvari, Vedang Raina, and Naseeruddin Shah, 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' has emerged as one of the most talked-about Indian films of the year. The film’s trailer and music have drawn an enthusiastic response online, helping fuel interest among audiences across the global Indian diaspora.

Speaking about the overseas response, director Imtiaz Ali expressed gratitude for the enthusiasm the film has received even before its release, noting that the connection audiences have shown toward the story and its characters has been encouraging.

Set against a backdrop of love, longing, and self-discovery, 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' is expected to blend Ali’s signature emotional storytelling with a contemporary narrative aimed at audiences both in India and abroad.

Trade analysts believe strong advance sales in North America could provide an early indicator of the film’s international box-office potential. Produced by Applause Entertainment and Birla Studios, the film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on June 12, 2026.
