Harshvardhan Rane Hints at Screen Sharing Struggles for Diwali Release

On October 15, 2025, Bollywood actor Harshvardhan Rane took to his Instagram stories to share a candid post that has sparked speculation among fans and industry observers. In his message, Rane wrote, "Being taken lightly fuels me, I am now used to being underestimated." While the post carries his usual philosophical undertone, many are reading between the lines, wondering if he is indirectly referring to the lesser number of screens being given to his upcoming Diwali release Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat.

Rane added, "This same phenomenon occurred in February 2025, and now it's happening again!" This has led to speculation that he might be referring to the re-release of his 2016 romantic drama Sanam Teri Kasam in February 2025, which reportedly faced similar screen sharing issues on the first day.

Fans are now connecting the dots and suggesting that Rane may be hinting at a similar situation with his upcoming film Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, which is set to clash at the box office with Maddock Films' Thamma during the Diwali weekend on October 21, 2025.

Despite the potential challenges, Harshvardhan Rane remains undeterred. He wrote, "But I believe in the power of romance, resilience and public's verdict, I will continue marching ahead with this faith... love, Harsh." His message reflects his enduring optimism as it seems he hasn't given up on hope.
