Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela’s film with Anurag Basu isn’t moving as fast as the buzz might suggest. While there was a perception that the shoot was largely done, Basu has now made it clear that the project is still stuck in a slow, ongoing phase with only limited progress so far.
Speaking to Variety India, Basu addressed the rumours head-on and clarified that the film is nowhere close to completion. He said, “That the majority of the shooting is done is a myth. I’ve not shot more than 45 days for this film. The shooting has just started.” His comment reflects how the film is still far from wrapping up, despite being in the news for a while now.
The film, which was initially planned for a December 2025 release, has now been delayed with no new date announced yet. While there was chatter about a clash with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, Basu clarified that wasn’t the reason. At the same time, he’s eager to wrap this project and move on to his long-pending Kishore Kumar biopic. He said, “I’m dying to jump into that film (Kishore Kumar biopic) as soon as I get over with the film (Kartik and Sreeleela-starrer), which I’m doing right now, and I’m galloping with it. I want to finish it because I really want to get into Kishore as soon as possible. Kishore has been in my system for a very long time. I want to get it out right now.”
