Bollywood’s beloved duo, Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, are all set to light up the silver screen once again with their upcoming romantic comedy, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. Directed by Satyaprem Ki Katha filmmaker Sameer Vidwans and produced under the banners of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures, the film promises a heartwarming love story, arriving just in time for Valentine’s Day 2026. Karan Johar created the buzz on social media.
Official Announcement and First Look of Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday
Karan Johar made the official casting announcement through a post on Instagram, revealing Kartik Aaryan as ‘Ray’ and Ananya Panday as ‘Rumi’. His caption read: “Signed, sealed & delivering hamaare Ray ki Rumi! @kartikaaryan @ananyapanday #TuMeriMainTeraMainTeraTuMeri – in cinemas next Valentine’s: 13th Feb, 2026.” The announcement was accompanied by a romantic image of the pair sharing a kiss—cleverly obscured by a passport, teasing a possible travel or identity-related plotline.
The film is currently being shot across picturesque European locations. A video from the set recently surfaced online, showing Kartik entering a quaint roadside café while Ananya chats with a friend. Adding to the buzz, Kartik has been sharing glimpses of his new avatar as Ray, sparking curiosity and excitement among fans.
A Pair That Keeps Fans Talking
Kartik and Ananya first shared screen space in the 2019 hit Pati Patni Aur Woh, where their chemistry was widely appreciated. Since then, fans have speculated about a possible off-screen relationship. Their camaraderie during promotions and interviews only fueled the rumours. In 2022, during an episode of Koffee with Karan, Karan Johar even hinted at their rumoured romance. Ananya’s mother, Bhavana Panday, once commented that Kartik and Ananya make the best on-screen pair, adding more fuel to the fire.
However, both actors have consistently addressed the dating speculation. Ananya called the rumours “cute” and “fun,” but emphasized that they share a good friendship. Kartik, on the other hand, stated he was “100% single,” joking that his only dates were with producers for upcoming projects.
Anticipation Builds for Valentine’s 2026 Release
Despite the gossip and media chatter, Kartik and Ananya have maintained a strictly professional rapport. Their second collaboration has only intensified excitement among fans, who are eager to see their chemistry rekindled on screen. With the shoot underway and an official release date set for February 13, 2026, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is shaping up to be a must-watch romantic entertainer.
As filming continues in Europe, fans can expect more glimpses of Ray and Rumi in the coming months—and possibly more sparks flying both on and off screen.
