Aditya Roy Kapur is returning to the genre that made him a breakout star. The actor is officially headlining an upcoming, untitled musical love story directed by Milap Milan Zaveri and produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series.
The project was formally announced this week. Production is scheduled to begin later in 2026, and the film is currently targeting a 2027 release timeline.
This is not a quiet romance. Zaveri pitched the character as “heroic, intense, aggressive,” explicitly stating the performance demands a level of passion meant to rival Kapur’s enduring 2013 blockbuster Aashiqui 2.
That specific connection is intentional. Kumar and Kapur struck gold with Aashiqui 2 over a decade ago. Now, they are leaning heavily back into grandly mounted musical heartbreak. They are also currently collaborating on Anurag Basu’s upcoming anthology film, Metro… In Dino.
Zaveri is hyping the scale. The director noted the new film sits “many notches above the madness” of his own film Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. Kapur will step onto the set later this year.
