One of the most talked-about love sagas is currently brewing in Bollywood. It’s got everything – a sizzling duo, mystery title, and Anurag Basu directing. The film stars the charming Kartik Aaryan and the dazzling Sreeleela. This untitled romantic rollercoaster has been making headlines since day one. Fans were hoping to catch the film this Diwali in theatres. However, reports now suggest a Valentine’s Day 2026 release is being planned.
Kartik Aaryan & Sreeleela starrer to release next year on this date?
Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela’s much-anticipated love story, which was initially aiming for a Diwali 2025 drop, is now (reportedly) gearing up for a February 13, 2026 release.
Although this cinematic affair started off as Aashiqui 3, legal roadblocks forced the makers to ditch the name. With Anurag Basu at the helm and Pritam ready to serenade us again, the ingredients for a classic Bollywood romance are bubbling just right.
Trust Kartik Aaryan to serve looks and versatility – quite literally. Word is, he’s flaunting two different avatars in the film. One’s a long-haired, bearded heartbreaker, and the other’s a clean, sharp stunner. An insider shared, “He’s now cut his hair for Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Mera, but for Aashiqui 3, he’ll have both short and long beard looks. While he wraps that film.”
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter India,Filming began in March and they’ve already wrapped 40% of the movie. The insider added, “The next schedule for Aashiqui 3 is set to begin in August, and given the current timeline, it will be impossible to finish the film by September and have it ready for an October release.”
Reason why The Diwali Release Got postponed
Initially pitched as a festive Diwali release, the delay is reportedly due to packed schedules and Anurag Basu juggling post-production for Metro…In Dino (dropping July 4, btw). Sources spilled, “Basu is fully immersed in post-production for Metro… In Dino.”
While Metro… In Dino takes centre stage for now, Basu and Kartik are syncing their creative energies for this untitled beauty. Pritam’s back with his soul-touching tracks. Kartik is already shooting Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Mera while prepping for his double-duty looks in this one.
Title reveal soon?
That’s the million-dollar mystery, honey. Fans are dying to know what this film will be called – Tu Meri Zindagi Hai has been whispered around but nothing’s been confirmed.
