While fans were left wondering about the reason behind the delay, director Anurag Basu has come forward to clarify the situation.
According to reports, the film was initially set to hit the screens during the Diwali festivities in 2025. However, the release date has now been pushed to 2026, leaving many fans and movie enthusiasts curious about the reason behind the delay. Rumors began circulating that the postponement was due to a clash in story with the upcoming film ‘Saiyaara’, which also features performers as central characters.
However, in a recent interview, director Anurag Basu denied these reports and shed light on the actual reason behind the delay. “Both films feature performers as central characters, we knew there’d be comparisons… they’re completely different from each other,” he stated, putting to rest any speculation about a story clash between the two films.
The delay, according to Anurag, is a result of the usual production and post-production process, which requires careful planning and execution. “There’s no such thing as a perfect film, and we’re working hard to make sure our film is the best it can be,” he said, emphasizing the importance of taking the necessary time to get everything right.

The film’s unique premise, which blends elements of romance and drama, has sparked a lot of interest, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what the film has in store for them.
While the delay may be disappointing for fans who were looking forward to the film’s release during Diwali 2025, it’s clear that the delay is necessary to ensure the film meets the high standards set by the director and the cast. As Anurag Basu himself stated, “We’re not compromising on the quality of the film, and we’re willing to take the necessary time to get it right.”
In conclusion, while the delay of the Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela-starrer may be a setback for fans, it’s clear that the delay is necessary to ensure the film meets the high standards set by the director and the cast. With Anurag Basu at the helm, fans can be assured that the film will be a masterpiece, and the wait will be well worth it.
