Anurag Basu, the filmmaker behind the currently untitled romantic drama featuring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela, has actively countered reports suggesting substantial progress on the project. Contrary to pervasive narratives, Basu stated that the film has not even approached completion, with only approximately 45 days of shooting undertaken thus far. This revelation directly challenges assumptions that a significant portion of the film's production is already in the can.
Basu, in direct conversation with Variety India, articulated his stance. "I’ve not shot more than 45 days for this film," he affirmed, a statement that appears to dislodge any prior estimations of advancement. The director's comments serve to recalibrate expectations regarding the project's timeline and readiness.
The film, which has seen glimpses of Aaryan in a rugged aesthetic alongside Sreeleela, has been the subject of speculation concerning its release date and any potential delays. Basu's clarification underscores that the project's trajectory is far from a concluding phase.

The filmmaker also alluded to a packed schedule ahead, noting his commitments for the "next couple of years." This implies that the remaining shooting and post-production phases for the Aaryan-Sreeleela starrer will need to be strategically woven into his existing professional obligations. Basu's comments suggest a more prolonged and deliberate production process than previously understood.
