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.

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.

In recent days, digital copies of unverified court records, emails and other material linked to Epstein’s network have reignited debate about numerous public figures whose names appear in the files. Among them, Kashyap — known for acclaimed films such as Gangs of Wasseypur and Black Friday — was referred to in one of the email exchanges as a “Bollywood guy” and a “famous Bollywood director. ”Speaking to Hindustan Times, Kashyap strongly denied any involvement or association with Epstein or the events mentioned in the documents. “I’ve no clue about this. I get invitations as a speaker, about 15 a month. I rarely respond,” Kashyap said, underlining that he often receives invitations from various organisations and forums. “Also, I have never been to Beijing in my life,” he added, referring to the alleged event location noted in the circulated files. Commenting on the nature of the documents and the accompanying speculation, the filmmaker questioned their credibility. “It’s some random email, that’s self-explanatory. The clickbaits in my name are more popular than my films,” Kashyap said... #Epstein #Jeffrey_Epstein #Epstein_Files #Anurag_Kashyap #offender_Jeffrey #Kashyap_REACTS #so-called_Epstein #Filmmaker_Anurag #global_attention #Kashyap
