Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani’s next rolls in March

Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani, who are currently awaiting the release of their much-anticipated film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, will soon start shooting for their next film, formerly titled Satyanarayan Ki Katha.

Well-known producer Sajid Nadiadwala is bankrolling the upcoming musical love saga under his production house, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. Filmmaker Sameer Vidwans, who is known for helming such successful Marathi films as Anandi Gopal (2019) and Double Seat (2015), is attached to direct. The film goes on floors in March.


When the film was announced in June 2021, it was titled Satyanarayan Ki Katha. However, thinking that the title may hurt religious statements of a certain section of the society, the makers have reportedly decided to drop Satyanarayan Ki Katha as the title of the film. They are yet to lock the new title.

In a statement, the actor had earlier told media, “I have been wanting to work with Sajid sir for some time now. I could not have asked for better collaboration. Satyanarayan Ki Katha is a musical love saga that brings together a powerhouse of people who are National award-winning names. It is also a first for me with Sameer Vidwans sir who has an astute sense of making sensitive topics highly entertaining. Honestly, I feel immense pressure and responsibility since I am the only member in this team without a National Award.”

In addition to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Sameer Vidwans’ next, Kartik Aaryan has a slew of exciting films in his hands, including Rohit Dhawan’s Shehzada, Hansal Mehta’s Captain India, and Shashanka Ghosh’s Freddy.

Kiara Advani, on the other hand, will be seen in Dharma Productions’ Jug Jugg Jeeyo after the release of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Directed by Raj Mehta, the comedy-drama also stars Varun Dhawan, Anil Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor in important roles.

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
