 "Anurag Basu clarifies Kartik Aaryan-Sreeleela's next is not Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's 'Saiyaara' rehash: 'The only similarity in our films is...'")
After the humongous box office success of Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda starrer Saiyaara, the comparisons have been emerged with Anurag Basu’s upcoming romantic musical featuring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela.
With the protagonists of both films being rockstars with the element of impactful, intense love stories, the parallels between the two have been making noise on social media.
Now, filmmaker Anurag Basu has denied the rumours and clarified on the comparisons and said that it is not a rehash of _Saiyaara_ . “Mohit (Suri) and I are very close. I’m happy for his film’s success. The only similarity in our films is that the male lead is a rockstar, and the story is about his journey," Basu told Mid-Day.
While there were rumours that just like Saiyaara, the lead female character in Basu’s film is suffering from a mental condition, and the makers have rewritten the script and will reshoot some portions, Basu denied it and said, “In my film, the girl doesn’t have dementia or any (other condition). We are not rewriting or re-shooting. I knew beforehand that the girl has Alzheimer’s (disease) in Saiyaara. So, why would I write the same [plot point] in mine?"
Talking about the delay of the movie, Basu shared, “We have shot about 40 per cent of the film. In August and September, we plan to shoot another schedule in which Kartik will have a clean-shaven look. He is currently shooting for Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, in which he has a specific look. The continuity is the problem. He needs to complete that film; after that, by the month-end, we will lock the next schedule.”
While the untitled movie backed by T-Series was earlier scheduled to release in Diwali 2025, it is now pushed to 2026.
