After wrapping up the shooting for his much-talked-about untitled romantic film with Sreeleela, reportedly titled Aashiqui 3, Kartik Aaryan has officially commenced filming his next big-screen venture, “Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri”. The film kicked off with a scenic mahurat shot in Europe, marking the beginning of an exciting cinematic journey that pairs Kartik with Ananya Panday.
Backed by two industry powerhouses — Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures — the film is being helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Sameer Vidwans, who previously collaborated with Kartik on the National Award-winning Satyaprem Ki Katha. The film is eyeing a theatrical release in 2026, promising a refreshing love story set against a rich international backdrop.
Kartik Aaryan Heads to Europe
Kartik Aaryan has been riding high on back-to-back projects. After completing the shoot for his highly anticipated film with Sreeleela, which is directed by Anurag Basu and rumoured to be titled Aashiqui 3, Kartik wasted no time before flying to Europe to begin work on his next romantic drama.
The new film’s mahurat clap happened earlier this week amidst the picturesque locales of Europe, signalling the start of what insiders are calling a “soul-stirring love story” crafted for the big screen.
“The film blends youthful romance with emotional depth, and Kartik’s pairing with Ananya Panday adds a nostalgic yet fresh appeal,” a source close to the production revealed.
Ananya Panday Joins Kartik Aaryan Once Again
After winning hearts with their chemistry in Pati Patni Aur Woh, Ananya Panday reunites with Kartik Aaryan for this film. The actress is also fresh off a string of notable projects and is said to be playing a strong, independent character in this romantic tale.
The film promises to explore modern relationships with a touch of poetic drama, tapping into the themes of love, identity, and emotional vulnerability.
“Ananya and Kartik share a comfort level that translates well on screen. This film will showcase their matured chemistry in a deeper, more layered story,” the insider added.
Produced by Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures
Bringing together Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures, the film is backed by creative and commercial giants in Indian cinema. Dharma’s association ensures a grand visual spectacle, while Namah Pictures brings its signature sincerity to storytelling.
This collaboration hints at a film that’s high on both substance and scale, crafted for a theatrical experience that resonates with diverse audiences.
Sameer Vidwans, known for his storytelling prowess and emotional depth, reunites with Kartik Aaryan after their successful collaboration in Satyaprem Ki Katha. The film won praise for its sensitive portrayal of love and relationships, and expectations are high for this next outing.
Release Plans for 2026: A Theatrical Love Saga
While the film has just gone on floors, the production team is targeting a 2026 theatrical release. With a globetrotting shoot schedule, including multiple European locations and a possible India schedule later this year, the film is expected to wrap principal photography by early 2026.
The team will reportedly follow a multi-city promotional strategy, with music playing a key role in the film’s narrative. Industry sources hint that renowned music composers are already on board, curating a soulful, romantic soundtrack.
Film Promises a Unique Take on Love and Relationships
While details about the plot remain under wraps, the title “Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri” (You are mine, I am yours, I am yours, you are mine) strongly suggests a narrative exploring interconnectedness and perhaps a complex yet beautiful take on modern relationships. The combination of Kartik Aaryan’s charm and Ananya Panday’s fresh appeal, guided by Sameer Vidwans, promises a romantic drama that will offer both entertainment and emotional resonance.
