**1. Kartik Aaryan & Sreeleela’s Film — No Delays**

The most anticipated new Bollywood pairing is absolutely on track. Director Anurag Basu confirmed the film is progressing well and will release in 2026 as planned. Presented by T-Series and produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar, this project has been generating enormous buzz since its announcement — partly because it marks the first on-screen collaboration between Kartik and Sreeleela. No title has been officially confirmed yet, though speculation around it being connected to *Aashiqui 3* continues.

At the same launch event, he also confirmed that *Vaastav 2* is in the works, with him returning as the beloved character Raghu. Two sequels in one week. Nobody saw that coming.
