The upcoming film Tu Yaa Main, starring Adarsh Gourav and Shanaya Kapoor, is generating buzz for its fresh pairing and unconventional narrative. The film, directed by Bejoy Nambiar, is slated for a theatrical release on Valentine's Day 2026.
Tu Yaa Main is produced by Aanand L. Rai's Colour Yellow in collaboration with Vinod Bhanushali's Bhanushali Studios Limited, aiming to champion fresh voices and genre-defying storytelling. Rai describes the film as a "bold and surprising new step" in stretching the boundaries of storytelling. Bhanushali echoes this sentiment, emphasizing their shared passion for creative risk and meaningful content.
The film is a survival thriller that revolves around two social media influencers who find themselves in a terrifying fight for survival against a deadly, man-eating crocodile. The teaser hints at a contrast between the lead pair, rooted in their socio-economic backgrounds. Gourav plays Aalaa Flowpura, a creator from Nalasopara, while Kapoor portrays Miss Vanity, a stylish social media influencer. Their collaboration takes a dark turn when they visit a villa, where they spot a crocodile in the swimming pool and get trapped.
Adarsh Gourav has praised Shanaya Kapoor, calling her "very cool and relaxed". He shared that they were mostly joking about how hot the water looked while they were actually freezing during the shoot. Gourav dismissed any perceived hierarchy on set due to Kapoor's newcomer status, stating, "For me, there's no senior or junior". He added that working with her during the announcement video shoot was "super chill" and that she was easy to get along with. He expressed his excitement to work with her again.
Shanaya Kapoor recently wrapped up shooting for Tu Yaa Main. She shared glimpses from the wrap celebration with Gourav and the team, featuring a playful crocodile-themed cake. This film marks a key milestone for Kapoor, offering a chance to showcase a textured side of her craft with added action elements.

Meanwhile, Adarsh Gourav is preparing for his Telugu debut in a psychological horror-thriller directed by Baba Shashank.
