Sharing the poster on social media, Ajay Devgn wrote, “Everyone has a breaking point, His just went global. #HappyBirthdayJoshi Inspired by true events. Releasing on 2nd April.”
The visual composition leans heavily into suspense. A cluttered desk filled with typewriters, scattered notes, and newspaper clippings adds depth to the narrative, while a prominent ‘Tech Alert’ headline subtly points towards a larger mystery involving someone named Joshi.
A Gen-AI Film With A Real-Life Edge
Reports suggest that Happy Birthday Joshi is being developed as a “Gen-AI film”, exploring artificial intelligence as a tool for innovative storytelling. This unusual approach, combined with its roots in real-life events, has already sparked conversations within the industry.
Release Date Makes It Personal
The film is set to hit theatres on April 2, 2026, making the release particularly significant as it aligns with Devgn’s birthday. The timing adds a personal milestone to what is shaping up to be one of his more experimental ventures.
Team Behind The Project
Happy Birthday Joshi is produced by Ajay Devgn and Danish Devgn under Lens Vault Studios. The film is directed by Anshul Kumar Sharma, with a screenplay by Vatsal Sheth. Sahil Nayar serves as the creative producer, while Joel Crasto has composed the background score.
Ajay Devgn’s Packed Line-Up
Beyond this project, Ajay Devgn continues to stay busy on multiple fronts. He is currently filming Golmaal 5 in Mumbai alongside Akshay Kumar, with the Rohit Shetty-led action-comedy franchise eyeing a global release in 2027.
Fans can also look forward to Drishyam 3, directed by Abhishek Pathak, which is slated to release on October 2, 2026.
