Anurag Basu’s films are always like a glass of whisky—they take their own sweet time to hit the right notes.
It’s no secret that Anurag Basu’s next project with Kartik Aaryan will no longer release on the Diwali or Christmas 2025 weekends due to delays in shooting. However, we have now been informed by very reliable sources that Kartik Aaryan is all set to start shooting for the film from November.
### Kartik Aaryan Gears Up to Rejoin Anurag Basu’s Sets in November
A little birdie informed Bollywood Hungama, “Kartik and Anurag Basu are reuniting for an important 25-day leg of this intense romantic saga starting November. This includes shooting fresh sequences alongside some reshoots of previously canned moments. The shoot will take place in Mumbai, and the prep work is going on in full swing.”
The source further revealed that around 40 days of shooting remain for this yet untitled romantic film, and the makers are committed to wrap up the shoot by the end of January.
“The last 15 days of this film will be split between December and January, as Kartik has allotted a bulk of dates for promotional activities related to his New Year release, *Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri*,” the source added.
### Release Plans for the Untitled Romance
Our reliable source confirmed that the untitled romance is slated for a Summer 2026 release. The official release date will be announced after the shoot wraps up in January.
Stay tuned for more updates on this much-anticipated collaboration!
