MUMBAI: Actress Sreeleela has resumed shooting in Mumbai for her upcoming romantic musical starring opposite Kartik Aaryan and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Basu, according to recent reports.
The film, which has faced delays in its production schedule, is now moving forward with Sreeleela completing her remaining portions. An insider quoted by Pinkvilla said the actress has returned to the sets and that the current schedule is progressing as planned.
Sreeleela Begins Her Mumbai Schedule
Sreeleela has reportedly joined the latest Mumbai shooting schedule and is currently filming her portions of the project. The film is being mounted as a large-scale romantic musical, with music expected to play an important role in the storytelling.
Kartik Aaryan has already completed most of his work for the film, with earlier reports suggesting that his portions are more or less finished. The latest schedule is therefore expected to help the production move closer to completion.
Film Was Previously Linked to the Aashiqui Franchise
The project had initially been widely speculated to be Aashiqui 3, which generated considerable interest because of the popularity of the franchise.
However, more recent reports have suggested that the film is titled Tu Meri Zindagi Hai and is being developed as an original romantic story rather than a direct continuation of the Aashiqui franchise. The film is reportedly being scored by composer Pritam, with songs expected to be central to its narrative.
Anurag Basu Directs the Romantic Musical
The film is being directed by Anurag Basu, known for films that combine romance, drama and music in distinctive ways. His involvement has raised expectations for the project, particularly because the upcoming film is being described as an intense romantic musical.
The pairing of Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela is also attracting attention, as the movie is expected to mark an important milestone in Sreeleela’s Bollywood career.
Sreeleela’s Bollywood Debut
The film is expected to mark Sreeleela’s Bollywood debut as a leading actress. She has already established herself in South Indian cinema and has gained popularity for her performances and dance skills.
Her pairing with Kartik Aaryan has generated significant anticipation among fans, particularly because the project is designed around romance and music.
Production Moves Forward After Delays
The movie had reportedly gone through several delays because of scheduling issues. Earlier reports had indicated that the production team was working toward completing the remaining portions after interruptions to the shooting schedule.
With Sreeleela now back on set in Mumbai, the production appears to be moving forward again. The latest development is expected to bring the film closer to completion and eventually to its theatrical release.
What to Expect
With Anurag Basu at the helm, Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela in the lead, and Pritam reportedly handling the music, the film is shaping up as one of the more anticipated romantic musicals in Kartik Aaryan’s upcoming lineup.
While an earlier release plan had been discussed for 2026, the film’s production delays mean that its final release schedule should be treated with caution until officially confirmed.
