Amid rumours of delay, filmmaker Anurag Basu has clarified that his film starring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela is progressing as planned, with production currently in motion.
Speaking about the film’s status, Basu said, “We are very much on schedule, and the shoot is progressing well. It’s a film we believe in deeply, and we are bringing it to audiences this year as intended.”
Meanwhile, he had earlier told Variety India, “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.”

The team has completed around 45 days of shooting, including schedules in Chalsa in the Dooars region of West Bengal, where Kartik was seen in a rugged look with Sreeleela. More recently, filming resumed in Srinagar and Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, but these have been short schedules, adding to the slow pace of the overall production.
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 it 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.”
