Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat Teaser
Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat received its world premiere at the Marrakech Film Festival. Anurag Kashyap expressed the joy on his film's world premiere taking place at the festival. The filmmaker said in a statement, "The plot of the movie has evolved over the years as a result of my conversations with my daughter and members of Gen Z, as well as my realisation of how our preconceived notions and upbringing affect them. To understand that both they and we are natives of the world we live in today. I'm glad it's beginning with this movie because it feels like a new inning."
