The yet-untitled project marks the Bollywood debut of South Indian star Sreeleela, who replaced Triptii Dimri in the lead role for undisclosed reasons. Billed as a romantic musical, the film has already generated buzz, with earlier set photos adding to the anticipation.
Slated for a Diwali 2025 release, the movie is set to face off at the box office against Thama, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna.
