Kartik & Sreeleela-starrer not delayed due to ‘Saiyaara’: Anurag
Bollywood fans were left puzzled when it was announced that Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela’s upcoming romance-drama film, initially scheduled to release during Diwali 2025, has been pushed to 2026 premiere. The news sparked rumors of a potential clash with the other upcoming film, ‘Saiyaara’, which also features performers as central characters. However, director Anurag Basu has come forward to clarify the situation, stating that the delay was not due to any creative differences or competition with ‘Saiyaara’.
In a recent interview, Anurag Basu addressed the rumors surrounding the postponement of the film, saying, “Both films feature performers as central characters, we knew there’d be comparisons… they’re completely different from each other.” This statement implies that the delay was not due to any creative differences or a fear of competition between the two films.
The decision to push the film’s release date to 2026 was likely a strategic move by the filmmakers to avoid any potential clash with other big-budget releases during the Diwali season. With multiple big-ticket films vying for attention during the festival season, it’s not uncommon for films to be delayed to avoid getting lost in the shuffle.
The delay has not dampened the excitement around the film, which promises to be a thrilling ride for fans of Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela. The chemistry between the two leads has been a major talking point, with fans eagerly anticipating their on-screen romance.
Kartik Aaryan, who has been making waves in Bollywood with his recent hits like ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ and ‘Freddy’, is set to take on a new role as a romantic lead opposite Sreeleela, who has been making a name for herself in the industry with her performances in films like ‘Krishnarjuna Yudham’ and ‘Lucifer’.
The film’s plot remains under wraps, but fans are speculating about the storyline, given the romance-drama tag. With Anurag Basu at the helm, it’s likely that the film will feature a unique blend of romance, drama, and comedy, which has become a hallmark of his directorial style.
In conclusion, the delay of Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela’s untitled film to 2026 is not due to any creative differences or competition with ‘Saiyaara’. The decision was likely made to avoid any potential clash with other big-budget releases during the Diwali season. Fans of the lead duo can rest assured that the film will be worth the wait, given the chemistry between Kartik and Sreeleela and the unique direction that Anurag Basu is likely to bring to the project.
