Kartik Aaryan-Anurag Basu Film Titled ‘Tu Meri Zindagi Hai’, Evokes Aashiqui Nostalgia

The highly anticipated romantic musical starring Kartik Aaryan and directed by Anurag Basu has reportedly been titled ‘Tu Meri Zindagi Hai’, drawing inspiration from the iconic 1990 song from Aashiqui. Initially planned as the third instalment of the Aashiqui franchise, the project evolved into a standalone film after producers Mukesh Bhatt and Bhushan Kumar parted ways.

Slated for a May 1, 2026, release, the film aims to capture the magic of summer romances, featuring Kartik Aaryan alongside Sreeleela. Filming is currently ongoing in Mumbai and will continue through 2025, with patchwork and editing planned for early 2026.

Why the Title Changed

A source revealed, “The makers wanted a title that evoked nostalgia but avoided legal or creative complications with the Aashiqui franchise. ‘Tu Meri Zindagi Hai’ felt like the perfect fit.”

By distancing the project from the original franchise, the team ensured creative freedom while still appealing to fans of classic Bollywood romance.

Film Details and Expectations

‘Tu Meri Zindagi Hai’ promises Anurag Basu’s signature romantic storytelling, blending music, emotion, and drama in a traditional love story format. The summer release strategy aims to attract audiences who enjoy high-profile romantic musicals during this season.

Along with Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela, the film brings together director Anurag Basu and producer Bhushan Kumar. The standalone approach allows the filmmakers to craft a fresh narrative, independent of prior franchise constraints.

The official title announcement is awaited, but the early buzz indicates strong anticipation among fans of Bollywood romance and musical cinema.
