Earlier, Karan Johar announced that he is going to produce a film with Kartik, titled ‘Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri.’ His post on Instagram read, “Wrapped in romance, here comes the best Christmas gift ever from us to you! Starring Kartik Aaryan – Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri is coming to cinemas in 2026. Directed by Sameer Vidwans.”

The announcement came after Kartik Aaryan’s exit from KJo’s ‘Dostana 2.’ As per reports, the two had a fallout with Kartik’s ‘unprofessionalism’ being the reason behind the move. The project involving Janhavi Kapoor was subsequently shelved.

Coming back to Kartik and Sreeleela’s next, the film is going to be a romantic musical saga with Anurag Basu at the helm. The teaser promises an intense musical romantic saga with Kartik Aaryan playing a brooding singer with a scruffy beard and long hair. His intense look as a singer has piqued fans’ curiosity. Sreeleela joins the actor as his love interest. In the teaser, Kartik sings ‘Tu Meri Zindagi Hai’ with snippets of the lead pair’s romantic moments interspersed throughout. However, the title of the film remains under wraps.
