About the film and its release
Sameer Vidwans, known for ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’, is directing ‘Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri’. The movie is a mix of romance, fun, and emotional moments. Kartik Aaryan plays Ray, and Ananya Panday plays Rumi. The film is produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Shareen Mantri Kedia, and Kishor Arora under Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures. It will be released in theaters on February 13, 2026, just before Valentine’s Day.
Final leg of shooting and release plans
According to Mid-day, Karti is set to continue shooting the final portion of Anurag Basu’s romantic drama in Mumbai once the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities conclude. The bulk of the film is already shot. Post Ganpati celebrations this month, the team will dive into a 45-day marathon schedule that should take the movie to the finish line. The film is now expected to release in theaters in April 2026, coinciding with the summer holiday season.
