Kartik Aaryan vs Ajay Devgn Round 2: Is the actor gearing up to challenge Drishyam 3 with another massive box office clash in October 2026?

The box office battle lines are being drawn early. Following the massive Diwali 2024 face-off, Kartik Aaryan and Ajay Devgn appear destined to lock horns again on the Gandhi Jayanti weekend of 2026. T-Series announces release date for its upcoming romantic musical drama T178, arriving in cinemas on 1 October 2026 pic.twitter.com/3LpiVOQhYM— T-Series (@TSeries) November 19, 2025 If industry whispers and recent release date blocking are to be believed, Bollywood is gearing up for an encore of the historic clash we witnessed between Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again. In a move that signals growing confidence in Kartik Aaryan"™s box office pull, Bhushan Kumar"™s T-Series has reportedly locked a release date that pits the young star directly against veteran superstar Ajay Devgn"”again. According to industry buzz, the team behind the highly anticipated Drishyam 3"”led by Ajay Devgn and Panorama Studios"”has marked the October 2, 2026 (Gandhi Jayanti) holiday for the release of the third installment of the cult crime-thriller franchise. However, in a surprising strategic move, Bhushan Kumar and Kartik Aaryan have reportedly announced the release of their upcoming untitled romantic musical drama for October 1, 2026"”just one day prior. This development comes hot on the heels of the Diwali 2024 clash, where Aaryan"™s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 went head-to-head with Rohit Shetty"™s cop universe epic, Singham Again. While many predicted the clash would eat into the business of both films, the results showed that Aaryan could hold his own against a multi-starrer vehicle What creates the most intrigue around this prospective battle is the stark contrast in genres. In the veteran"™s corner lies a proven goldmine: Drishyam 3. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the return of the Salgaonkar family is expected to be a cinematic event, riding high on the cult status of its predecessors. Countering this crime-thriller legacy is Kartik Aaryan"™s untitled romantic musical with T-Series, reportedly helmed by Anurag Basu. While the project was initially buzzed to be the third installment of the Aashiqui franchise, rights issues may necessitate a fresh title. Adding to Aaryan's rising stock is his current positioning within the industry. Beyond his stronghold with T-Series, the actor is now well-entrenched in Karan Johar"™s Dharma Productions, with two films reportedly in the pipeline. This consolidation of support from Bollywood"™s two biggest production houses (T-Series and Dharma) provides the strategic backing needed to announce release dates aggressively. While the Diwali clash proved that two big films can coexist, trade analysts often argue that solo releases maximize revenue. The decision to release the Kartik Aaryan starrer on October 1"”getting a one-day head start on Drishyam 3"”suggests Bhushan Kumar is banking on a strong opening day to seize the narrative before the legacy franchise takes over the holiday screens. As of now, makers are keeping creative details of the romantic drama under tight wraps to build intrigue. But one thing is certain: October 2026 is already heating up to be a battle for supremacy.

The Title of Kartik Aaryan, Sreeleela's Romantic Drama With Director Anurag Basu Revealed

Mumbai, October 8 - Bollywood heartthrob Kartik Aaryan and actress Sreeleela teamed up for director Anurag Basu's musical romantic drama film. The film was originally supposed to be titled Aashiqui 3, but the makers dropped the idea due to copyright issues. The movie has gone through some changes. According to the latest reports, the movie is currently being reshoot for a major portion. It is said that 10 days' worth of scenes that were already shot have been completely scrapped. Meanwhile, the film has reportedly been titled Tu Meri Zindagi Hai. It has been taken for the title song of the Aashiqui film. "When choosing the title, it was a pre-emptive move by the makers to avoid making a direct reference to Aashiqui. The team wanted a name that evoked nostalgia but didn't risk legal or creative complications. Tu Meri Zindagi Hai felt like the perfect fit", says the report by Mid-Day. Aashiqui has been a cult franchise, but due to creative differences between producer Bhushan Kumar and Mukesh Bhatt before they parted ways, the makers can't use the same title as the film. But the makers feel that Tu Meri Zindagi Hai fits perfectly while avoiding legal complications. "It's a classic love story with Basu's signature treatment of the genre. With the release more than six months away, it gives the team time to weave in some additional tracks. The latest schedule is underway in Mumbai, and the film will be shot till 2025-end, with patchwork spilling on to early 2026", the report added. Produced by T-Series, Tu Meri Zindagi Hai will hit the big screens on May 1, 2026. Stay tuned...

Spirit Runtime Update: Prabhas' Actioner Will Be Shorter Than Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Arjun Reddy and Animal

Hyderabad, September 6 "“ Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is known for his intense, emotionally charged dramas like blockbusters Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh, and Animal, has revealed the potential theatrical runtime of his highly-awaited film Spirit starring pan-India superstar Prabhas. In a recent interaction, Vanga hinted that Spirit could be his shortest film to date in terms of runtime. During a talk show called Jayammu Nischayammu Raa on Zee5, SRV was asked about what the theatrical runtime of Spirit would be by host Jagapathi Babu. The blockbuster director, who is teaming up with Prabhas for the first time, revealed that he would make sure that the runtime remains below 3 hours. If this happens, it will probably be his shortest film, even shorter than Shahid Kapoor-fronted Kabir Singh. This is a surprising revelation considering the director's past works, which are known for their extended screen time, layered storytelling, and detailed character arcs. Kabir Singh (2019) was 172 minutes (2 hours and 52 minutes) long, while Vanga's other two movies, Arjun Reddy and Animal, clocked over 3 hours of runtime. Apart from runtime, SRV also revealed that for Spirit, 70% of the music is already done, as he feels that it is easier to shoot a film when the BGM is playing in the background, as we can easily tell when to cut. "During Kabir Singh, I realised that if the RR is done before the shoot begins, then it makes shooting much easier. I didn"™t have those privileges during Arjun Reddy, but for Animal, 80% of the RR was done before the shoot itself," he said. The film marks Vanga's first collaboration with Prabhas, who will be seen playing a powerful cop in this high-voltage action drama. Given Prabhas' massive fan base and Vanga's reputation for hard-hitting, controversial storytelling, expectations are sky-high for Spirit, which is being mounted on a massive scale. Produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series and Vanga's Bhadrakali Pictures, Spirit is one of the most anticipated Indian films, promising a blend of action, emotion, and Vanga's signature intensity. With the director now hinting at a sharper runtime, fans are curious to see how this change in storytelling style translates on the big screen. The film, which has Tripti Dimri as the female lead as she reunites with Vanga after Animal, is currently in the pre-production stage and is expected to go on floors soon. It is expected to be released by late 2026 in multiple Indian and international languages. Stay tuned...
