Anurag Basu, known for his distinctive storytelling and deep character development, is set to begin filming his next project with leading actor Kartik Aaryan, after a delay from the initially planned release dates during major festivals like Diwali and Christmas in 2025. The postponement, attributed to production delays, has not dampened enthusiasm as filming is now confirmed to start in November.
Sources indicate that this untitled film will feature a significant 25-day shooting schedule, focused on both new scenes and reshoots. The filming is primarily set to take place in Mumbai, where preparations are already under way. Approximately 40 days of shooting are still required, but the production team is optimistic about wrapping up by the end of January.
Filming will proceed during December and January, although Aaryan will also be busy promoting his upcoming romantic comedy “Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri,” which is set for release on New Year’s Day. The film has generated excitement, particularly after the announcement that Ananya Panday will be starring alongside Aaryan, adding to the anticipation as it approaches a Valentine’s Day theme.
With the goal for Basu’s untitled romance set for completion in January, a summer 2026 release is anticipated. The official announcement of the film will follow the conclusion of shooting, promising to bring attention to the collaboration between Basu and Aaryan as their work progresses.
This news is a positive indication that despite setbacks, the passion for producing high-quality narratives in Indian cinema continues. With ongoing updates expected, fans of both Basu and Aaryan can look forward to a captivating cinematic experience from this collaboration.
