Kartik & Sreeleela-starrer not delayed due to ‘Saiyaara’: Anurag
The wait for Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela’s upcoming romance-drama film has just got longer. Initially scheduled to release during Diwali 2025, the movie has been pushed to 2026. Director Anurag Basu has finally broken his silence on the delay, addressing the rumors doing the rounds about the postponement. According to Basu, the delay has nothing to do with the story of the film clashing with that of ‘Saiyaara’, which also features performers as central characters.
In an interview with a leading entertainment portal, Basu clarified that the delay was a result of the usual production and post-production processes, and not due to any creative differences or conflicts with the other film. He also emphasized that both films are vastly different from each other, and the audience will not be confused between the two.
“We knew that with both films featuring performers as central characters, there would be comparisons. But we’re completely different from each other. The stories, the tone, the genre – everything is distinct,” Basu said.
The delay has left fans of Kartik and Sreeleela eagerly waiting for more updates on the film’s progress. The chemistry between the lead actors has been a major talking point, with fans eagerly anticipating the release of the film’s trailer and songs.
Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela’s romance-drama film has been in the making for quite some time now, with the shoot commencing in 2022. The film is expected to be a major comeback for Anurag Basu, who has directed films like ‘Barfi!’ and ‘Jagga Jasoos’. Basu’s unique storytelling style and attention to detail are expected to bring a fresh perspective to the romance-drama genre.
The delay has also raised questions about the producer’s strategy for the film’s release. With the film’s new release date set for 2026, it remains to be seen how the producer plans to promote the film amidst the intense competition from other films releasing in the same year.
Fans of Kartik and Sreeleela are likely to be disappointed by the delay, but the anticipation and excitement surrounding the film’s release are likely to only grow with time. The film’s unique storyline, coupled with the sizzling chemistry between the lead actors, makes it one of the most anticipated films of 2026.
In the meantime, fans can keep an eye out for more updates on the film’s progress, including the release of its trailer and songs. With Anurag Basu at the helm, the film is expected to be a visual treat, with stunning cinematography and a captivating story.
