Director Anurag Basu has finally revealed an eagerly awaited update on his upcoming untitled film featuring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela. While promoting his recently released film, Metro In Dino, Basu discussed the progress of this new project, which has already piqued the curiosity of fans.
In an interview with News18 Showsha, Basu stated, “Half of it is done, half is remaining. The shooting will begin very soon, and the film will be completed within a month. We’ll announce the title and release date shortly. I’m just focused on wrapping it up well.”
Romantic Musical Collaboration
The film is reportedly a romantic musical reminiscent of the iconic Aashiqui series, marking the first collaboration between Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela, who is set to make her much-anticipated Hindi film debut. The pairing of these two rising stars has already generated excitement, especially following the release of the film’s announcement video earlier this year. The video featured the hauntingly beautiful melody of the 90s hit ‘Tu Hi Aashiqui Hai’, adding to the project’s nostalgic charm.
While many details about the storyline remain under wraps, fans can look forward to an official title and release date announcement soon. With the project expected to wrap up quickly, all eyes are on how Anurag Basu will shape this musical love story.
Current Focus on Metro In Dino
Meanwhile, Basu is busy promoting his latest film, Metro In Dino, which serves as a spiritual sequel to his cult classic Life In A Metro. The film, which hit theaters on July 4, features a stellar ensemble cast, including Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, and Konkona Sen Sharma.
Metro In Dino delves into new-age relationships within a fast-paced urban landscape, much like its predecessor. Fans are eager to see how Basu brings his signature storytelling style back to the big screen.
As the director juggles two highly anticipated projects, his collaboration with Kartik and Sreeleela is shaping up to be one of the most exciting romantic musicals to watch for.
