This untitled project is special for many reasons. It brings together Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela on screen for the first time, with Sreeleela making her Hindi film debut. The buzz around this pairing has been strong ever since the announcement video dropped earlier this year.
The teaser video, featuring the nostalgic 90s hit “Tu Hi Aashiqui Hai,” connected well with audiences. The blend of retro music and new-age stars has left fans hopeful for a musical love story packed with emotion and melody.
