Kartik Aaryan Drops Mirror Selfie With Sreeleela From Set, Teases Diwali 2025 Release
Last Updated:
While the film is yet to be officially titled, it is widely believed to be Aashiqui 3, directed by Anurag Basu.
Kartik Aaryan is keeping the excitement alive with back-to-back projects and a brand-new on-set update. On Tuesday, the actor shared a cheerful mirror selfie with actress Sreeleela, confirming that they've wrapped a major schedule for their upcoming film. 'Long but a very fulfilling Schedule Wrap #Diwali2025," Kartik wrote in the caption, hinting at a festive release.
While the film is yet to be officially titled, it is widely believed to be Aashiqui 3, directed by Anurag Basu. Kartik and Sreeleela appear casual and relaxed in the behind-the-scenes snap, but the buzz around the movie suggests this one's anything but ordinary. Kartik is reportedly set to sport a rugged look with long hair and a beard for the film. With Basu's unique storytelling and Kartik's popularity, the Diwali 2025 release has already piqued curiosity.
Beyond this romantic drama, Kartik has a packed slate ahead. He's teaming up once again with director Sameer Vidwans for Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, a romantic comedy scheduled for a February 13, 2026 release. The film, produced by Dharma Productions, follows their earlier collaboration Satyaprem Ki Katha. While the plot remains under wraps, the genre and timing suggest it'll be a Valentine's Day special.
But the most unexpected twist in Kartik's upcoming lineup is Nagzilla, a fantasy comedy where he plays an ichchadhari naag. The film is being helmed by Fukrey director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba and promises an eccentric storyline with Kartik in a never-before-seen avatar. He even shared a dramatic motion poster recently, featuring a shirtless Kartik in a snake lair, looking over a cityscape.
'Insaanon wali pichharein toh bahut dekh leen, ab dekho naagon wali pichchar… #Naagzilla – Naag lok ka Pehla kaand. Funnn phailaane aa raha hu main," Kartik wrote in his caption.
Nagzilla is slated to hit theatres on August 14, 2026, just ahead of Naag Panchami.

Aditya Roy Kapur's Current Mood Is All About Slow Refs And Studio Time In London
Last Updated: Aditya Roy Kapur shares a glimpse into his current creative zone — a London studio, slow playlists, and prep for Metro In Dino, his upcoming musical with Anurag Basu. Metro In Dino actor Aditya Roy Kapur seems to be in no rush — creatively speaking. In his latest Instagram Story, the actor offered fans a quiet, cinematic glimpse into his current mood, and it looks like his vibe is all about slow rhythms, sonic exploration and a bit of self-reflection — all in London. The photo, taken in a dimly lit, aesthetically moody studio, shows a cluttered yet comforting workspace. At the centre is a desktop screen open to a Spotify playlist aptly titled 'Aditya Slow Refs' — suggesting a handpicked curation of reference tracks that are either inspiring him, calming him down, or perhaps, helping shape his latest project. There's also a pair of professional headphones, a Richer Sounds mug, and a mixing console on the desk, setting the scene for serious sound work. A large screen in the background beams serene animated visuals of a coastal landscape, adding to the meditative vibe. The location tag reads: London, United Kingdom. This snapshot comes at a time when Aditya is gearing up for the release of Metro In Dino, his second outing with director Anurag Basu after Ludo. Speaking about the collaboration, Aditya had recently shared, 'With Dada, everything and every day is a discovery, every day is a fun challenge. It is unpredictable, you don't know what new idea he is gonna throw your way and that's the most fun part of the process." He also opened up about the musical nature of the film, revealing how the format challenged him in unexpected ways. 'I think with this project there is a musical element to it, one is trying to blend in music into the scene, in and out of the scene… to go from talking into singing and then back to talking. That was challenging but also rewarding," he said. Backed by a stellar cast including Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, and others, Metro In Dino also reunites Anurag Basu with composer Pritam — their first collaboration since Ludo. The film takes its title from the song In Dino featured in Life in a… Metro and is set for release on 4 July 2025. First Published:

Ananya Panday Calls Herself A ‘3/10 Actor' In Viral Video; Reddit Trolls Her Brutally
Last Updated: Ananya Panday called herself a 3/10 actor in a resurfaced video, sparking viral trolling and heated PR debates on Reddit and social media. A throwback video of Ananya Panday rating herself as an actor has resurfaced on Reddit and is going viral for all the wrong reasons. The clip, from a rapid-fire segment on Pinkvilla, features Ananya playfully struggling to rate her own acting skills. Initially hesitant, she says, 'I can't do this… Like a 3… How can I rate myself as an actor?" Her Call Me Bae co-stars Niharika Dutt and Muskkaan Jaferi try to lift her spirits, nudging her to rate herself higher. Eventually, Ananya settles on a 7 out of 10. While her response seemed candid and humorous, the internet didn't take it lightly. Redditors quickly latched onto the video, calling out what they described as another PR move. One user wrote, 'The thing is, it's actually working. People do sympathise with her. All the Insta girlies unite to defend her in any reel criticising her. Unfortunately." Another added, 'Nepotism or no nepotism—if you are focused on winning PR games instead of working on your craft, people won't watch you." A third user sarcastically chimed in, 'Even my 2-month-old can see through these PR tricks. At least be clever about it." The viral backlash has reignited debates around nepotism and image-building in Bollywood, with many questioning whether such self-deprecating moments are genuine or calculated. On the work front, Ananya Panday is gearing up for her next big release, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, co-starring Kartik Aaryan. The romantic comedy is already making waves, especially after the makers revealed the release date—February 13, 2026—along with a romantic poster showing the duo kissing behind an Indian passport. The film, directed by Satyaprem Ki Katha's Sameer Vidwans, is being jointly produced by Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures. It also marks Kartik Aaryan's return to Karan Johar's production house following their much-publicised fallout during Dostana 2. Fans are excited to see Kartik and Ananya reunite after their successful pairing in Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), making this one of the most awaited rom-coms on the horizon.
