After months of buzz and speculation, Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela’s upcoming romantic musical with filmmaker Anurag Basu finally has a title. The film, which has been in the works for a while, is reportedly called Tu Meri Zindagi Hai and is slated for a May 2026 theatrical release.
The project was initially rumoured to be Aashiqui 3, but following the professional split between producers Mukesh Bhatt and Bhushan Kumar, it was reimagined as a standalone love story. A source told Mid-Day that the new title was chosen carefully to keep the nostalgia alive without linking it directly to the Aashiqui franchise. “The team wanted a name that evoked nostalgia, but didn’t risk legal or creative complications. Tu Meri Zindagi Hai felt like the perfect fit,” the source said.
The film is said to be a classic love story told in Basu’s trademark style, complete with a strong emotional core and soulful music. The source added that the team is currently shooting in Mumbai and will continue till the end of 2025, with final patchwork expected in early 2026. “With the release more than six months away, it gives the team time to weave in some additional tracks,” they shared.
Although the makers are reportedly eyeing May 1, 2026, as the release date, there’s no official confirmation yet. Fans, however, are already thrilled about seeing Kartik and Sreeleela together for the first time on screen — a pairing that’s being hailed as fresh and full of chemistry.
The film may clash with Alia Bhatt’s much-awaited action drama Alpha at the box office. If industry buzz is to be believed, both films are aiming for the same release date — December 25, 2025 — setting the stage for an exciting Christmas showdown. However, an official confirmation is still awaited.
According to a report by Pinkvilla, citing Bollywood Hungama, the Kartik Aaryan–Sreeleela starrer, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Basu, has locked its release date for December 25, 2025. Meanwhile, Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, is currently in production and is also reportedly targeting a Christmas 2025 release. While fans are already buzzing about the potential clash, no official announcements have been made yet.
Meanwhile, Kartik has a busy year ahead. He will next be seen in Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri alongside Ananya Panday, directed by Sameer Vidwans, which releases on December 31. He also has Naagzilla lined up, marking yet another shift in genre for the actor.
