Veer Pahariya stars in Prem Keetanu teaser, a college rom-com

Veer Pahariya's second film, Prem Keetanu, released its first teaser on Monday. Directed by Apoorv Singh Karki, the film follows a college student who is a black sheep, falling for a classmate who initially rejects him. The ensemble includes Aparshakti Khurana, debutant Aafiya Syed, Rakesh Bedi, and Nikhil Vijay.

The film has been widely reported as a Hindi adaptation of the 2024 Malayalam hit Premalu. Cinema Express reports the teaser hints at major script modifications to avoid direct comparisons. Koimoi, however, describes it as more than a scene-by-scene copy, noting that Premalu was removed from JioHotstar ahead of this release. Koimoi's review adds that Pahariya looks unconvincing as a college student.

Produced by Gaurav Verma under Avanika Films and Bhavana Studios, the film's music features multiple composers including Sachet-Parampara. Prem Keetanu is set for a theatrical release on October 2, where it will clash with Ajay Devgn's Drishyam 3.
