The Kashmir leg is officially on, and it has given Anurag Basu’s next musical a fresh burst of momentum. The filmmaker’s much-discussed project starring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela has now begun shooting in Srinagar, marking a major production move on one of T-Series’ most closely watched Hindi films in development.
The latest development also sharpens the film’s release timeline. The project is now lined up for a 2027 theatrical release, making the Srinagar schedule a key step as the film moves deeper into principal photography.
Srinagar Schedule Pushes Basu’s Musical Into High Gear
The film has commenced its Kashmir schedule in Srinagar, with portions of the outdoor leg also set to be shot in Pahalgam. The Valley schedule gives the production a striking visual canvas, something that sits naturally within Anurag Basu’s style of building atmosphere through music, emotion and location.
Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela lead the cast, with T-Series backing the untitled film as a theatrical musical drama under active production. With Basu directing and the Kashmir shoot now underway, the project has moved decisively beyond announcement buzz into a full-scale filming phase.
For Sreeleela, the film marks a major Hindi project with a filmmaker whose musical romances have long carried a distinct emotional texture. The pairing with Kartik, combined with the Kashmir schedule, gives the project a strong sense of scale at a stage when audiences are beginning to track its progress more closely.
Anurag Basu’s untitled film stars Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela in the lead, with T-Series producing the musical drama for a planned 2027 release. The premise has not been officially revealed, but the film’s confirmed creative team and active shoot schedule have already made it one of the more closely watched titles on the studio’s slate.
Why This Basu Collaboration Marks A New Turn For Kartik Aaryan
Kartik Aaryan was last seen in Chandu Champion and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, both of which released in 2024. Chandu Champion, directed by Kabir Khan, saw him take on a physically demanding biographical role, while Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, co-starring Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri, emerged as a major theatrical success before arriving on Netflix in December 2024.
Seen against that recent run, the Anurag Basu film adds a notable new dimension to Kartik’s lineup. It places him inside a director-driven musical mounted for the big screen, with Sreeleela as co-star and T-Series backing the project at scale. As the Srinagar and Pahalgam schedule unfolds, the film is beginning to establish the visual and emotional world that could define one of 2027’s most anticipated theatrical releases.
