Bollywood fans are in for a treat as the teaser of Anurag Basu’s upcoming musical starring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela has finally dropped. The film, previously rumored to be titled Aashiqui 3, has been making headlines for months. With the teaser now out, excitement is at an all-time high.
A Musical Romance to Look Forward To
Back in 2022, Kartik Aaryan and filmmaker Anurag Basu announced their first project together, sparking huge anticipation among fans. The film was initially said to be Aashiqui 3, but recent reports suggest that the title has changed. Earlier, actress Triptii Dimri was cast opposite Kartik, but due to scheduling conflicts, she exited the project. Now, Telugu and Kannada cinema star Sreeleela has stepped into the role, making her Bollywood debut.
Sreeleela’s Big Bollywood Break
Sreeleela gained widespread attention after her electrifying dance number Kissik in Pushpa 2: The Rule alongside Allu Arjun. With her stunning screen presence and impressive performances in the South Indian film industry, she has now bagged a role in one of Bollywood’s most-awaited films. Fans are eager to see how her chemistry with Kartik Aaryan unfolds on the big screen.
The Teaser: A Rockstar’s Intense Love Story
The teaser, released today, gives fans a glimpse of Kartik’s character, who appears as a heartbroken rockstar. With long hair, a scruffy beard, and a guitar in hand, he sings Tu Hi Aashiqui Hai, setting the tone for an emotional musical journey. His passionate romance with Sreeleela adds to the intrigue, making fans even more eager for the full film.
Fans React: Rockstar Meets Kabir Singh?
Kartik’s intense look in the teaser has reminded audiences of Ranbir Kapoor’s Rockstar (2011) and Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh (2019). Social media is buzzing with comparisons, with one fan commenting, “Rockstar x Kabir Singh?” Another user added, “If Kabir Singh and Jordan had a kid, this would be it.” Others praised the fresh pairing of Kartik and Sreeleela, calling them a “hot-looking couple.”
Release Date and Box Office Clash
The untitled musical is set to hit theaters on Diwali 2025. However, it won’t have a solo release, as it is expected to clash with Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s horror-comedy Thama. With both films releasing during the festive season, it will be interesting to see which one wins over the audience.
Final Thoughts: A Film to Watch Out For
With Anurag Basu’s direction, Pritam’s music, and a fresh on-screen pairing, this upcoming musical is already generating a lot of buzz. Kartik’s intense look, combined with the emotional depth of the story, promises a gripping love story. Fans can’t wait to see how this film unfolds when it finally hits the big screen.
