Anurag Basu CLARIFIES status of Kartik Aaryan, Sreeleela film: “Majority of the shooting is done is a myth” Filmmaker Anurag Basu has clarified that his much-anticipated musical romantic drama starring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela is still in the early stages of production, dismissing reports that most of the shoot had already been completed. In a recent interaction with Variety India, Basu revealed that only a limited portion of the film has been shot so far. Addressing speculation about the project’s progress, he said, “That the majority of the shooting is done is a myth. I've not shot more than 45 days for this film. The shooting has just started. ”The film had generated significant buzz when its promo was unveiled in February last year with an initial release target of December 2025. However, the schedule was later pushed back due to multiple factors. Current estimates suggest the project may now arrive in theatres in late 2026 or early 2027. During the same conversation, Basu also spoke about his eagerness to move on to his long-planned biopic on Kishore Kumar once the Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela starrer is completed. “I'm dying to jump into that film as soon as I get over with the film which I'm doing right now, and I'm galloping with it. I want to finish it because I really want to get into Kishore as soon as possible. Kishore has been in my system for a very long time. I want to get it out right now. I'm shooting a film which has Kartik Aaryan, and as soon as ... #Filmmaker_Anurag #Kartik_Aaryan #Anurag #Anurag_Basu #Basu_CLARIFIES #CLARIFIES_status #Basu #dismissing_reports #much-anticipated_musical #musical_romantic
BREAKING: Anurag Kashyap’s Dev D to re-release on April 24 In the pre-Gangs Of Wasseypur (2012) era, it was Dev D (2009) that made Anurag Kashyap a force to reckon with. It attained a cult following and 17 years after its release, it's all set to re-release in cinemas on April 24. As per an article in Bombay Times, the Abhay Deol-Kalki Koechlin-Mahie Gill starrer will be back on the big screen, but only in select theatres. It also carried quotes of Anurag Kashyap, Abhay Deol, Kalki Koechlin and music director Amit Trivedi. Anurag said, “To see Dev D return to the big screen feels special. It’s a film meant to be experienced collectively with Amit Trivedi’s music and Rajeev Ravi’s cinematography powering the narrative. I am curious to see how the new generation responds to it. ”Kalki Koechlin revealed, “I remember being so nervous about my Hindi lines that every morning on set, I would practise all my vowels and consonants in Devanagari to get the pronunciation right. The best part about shooting the film was not knowing anything about filmmaking, because it meant I didn’t care about the camera angle or how I looked on camera. ”Interestingly, it was lead actor Abhay Deol who suggested the idea of the film to Anurag. He explained, “I remember when I would narrate the idea of Dev D, the most common reaction I got was that it was ‘too arty’ to be made. When I narrated it to Anurag, I didn’t tell him it was a contemporary treatment. I just narrated a love story. He did n... #Anurag_Kashyap #Kashyap #April #BREAKING #Anurag #Dev #Abhay_Deol #Amit_Trivedi #Kalki_Koechlin #Wasseypur
