Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela's Anurag Basu musical gets April 30, 2027 release date

The wait for Anurag Basu's romantic musical starring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela has a firm end date. T-Series announced on October 15, 2026 that the untitled film will arrive in cinemas on April 30, 2027.

The announcement

T-Series made the announcement on social media alongside a new still of the lead pair. In the photo, they sit close together in a green, misty setting that appears to be a tea plantation. The caption described it as a new story ready to unfold on the big screen. It credits Anurag Basu as director and Bhushan Kumar as producer, and gives the release date as April 30, 2027, as reported by Hindustan Times.

According to Hindustan Times, the film was first planned for 2025 and was later expected in 2026, before the makers settled on the new 2027 date.

About the film

• Director: Anurag Basu
• Producers: Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar (T-Series)
• Music: Pritam
• Cast: Kartik Aaryan, Sreeleela
• Release: April 30, 2027

Bollywood Hungama describes the project as an original love story in which music plays a central role. It is not part of the Aashiqui franchise, despite earlier speculation. The film has been linked in reports to the title Tu Meri Zindagi Hai, but no official title has been announced.

Earlier promotional glimpses showed Kartik as a rugged, bearded singer performing with a guitar to a large crowd, along with moments of romance between the lead pair.

A big step for Sreeleela

The film is Kartik and Sreeleela's first on-screen collaboration, and it marks Sreeleela's debut as a leading lady in Hindi cinema. The actor is established in Telugu and Kannada films and drew wide attention in Hindi-speaking markets with the song 'Kissik' from Pushpa 2: The Rule. Hindustan Times notes that she has praised Basu's filmmaking process as "deeply layered".

The release window

Bollywood Hungama notes that no other major Hindi release has been announced for April 30, 2027. The date falls about three weeks after SS Rajamouli's Varanasi, which is scheduled for April 7, 2027. The next big Hindi releases, Lag Jaa Gale and the Sourav Ganguly biopic DADA, are both slated for May 14, 2027.

What's next for the leads

Kartik was last seen in Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri opposite Ananya Panday. Hindustan Times reports that he is currently shooting Kabir Khan's Captain India and also has Naagzilla lined up for 2027. Sreeleela was last seen in Ustaad Bhagat Singh and will next feature in Om Chapter 1: Udhiram - The Blood Wood.
