About the first look

On Saturday, the makers of Anurag Basu's untitled film released the first look of Kartik in the film. He is joined by the actor Sreeleela. The romantic drama is set to hit the theatres in Diwali 2025. In the first look of the film, Kartik sported a huge beard and was seen playing guitar in a huge concert, similar to the opening scene of Aashiqui 2. In the video, the couple is seen romancing in the mountains and riding bikes. The film is being speculated to be a spiritual successor to Aashiqui and Aashiqui 2, but the makers have not confirmed its title yet.

A slowed version of the song Tu hi zindagi hai, tu hi aashiqui hai played in the background of the video. Vishal Mishra sang it. T-Series released the video through their YouTube channel.
