Kartik & Sreeleela-starrer not delayed due to ‘Saiyaara’: Anurag
The much-awaited romance-drama film featuring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela has finally received a new release date. Initially scheduled to hit the screens during Diwali 2025, the film has been pushed to 2026. Director Anurag Basu has confirmed the delay and addressed the reports suggesting that the postponement was due to a clash in story with another film, ‘Saiyaara’.
In an interview with a leading publication, Anurag Basu clarified the situation, stating, “Both films feature performers as central characters, we knew [there’d be comparisons]…they’re completely different from each other.” This clears the air about the rumors surrounding the delay, which were fueled by the release of the trailer of ‘Saiyaara’, a film that also features performers as central characters.
The untitled film, which marks the first collaboration between Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela, has been in the making for a while now. The delay in its release has left fans eagerly waiting for more updates about the film. With the new release date set for 2026, fans can expect a lot more excitement and anticipation building up in the coming months.
The film, which is being produced by Anurag Basu Productions, is a romance-drama that promises to take viewers on an emotional ride. With Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela sharing the screen for the first time, fans are expecting a sizzling on-screen chemistry between the two leads. The film’s storyline, which is still under wraps, is expected to be a unique blend of romance, drama, and entertainment.
Anurag Basu, known for his critically acclaimed films like ‘Barfi!’ and ‘Life…In a Metro’, has a reputation for crafting stories that are both engaging and emotionally resonant. With his direction and the promising cast, fans are expecting a lot from this film.
The delay in the release of the film has also given the team more time to work on the post-production, which is expected to be a key aspect of the film’s overall quality. With the extra time, the team can focus on fine-tuning the editing, visual effects, and music, ensuring that the final product is nothing short of exceptional.
In conclusion, the delay in the release of Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela’s romance-drama film may have come as a disappointment to fans, but it also presents an opportunity for the team to perfect their craft. With Anurag Basu at the helm and the promise of a unique storyline, fans can expect a lot from this film when it finally hits the screens in 2026.
