The upcoming survival thriller Tu Yaa Main, starring Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav, is generating buzz, and both actors have revealed their reasons for taking on the project. Directed by Bejoy Nambiar, known for his genre-bending storytelling, the film promises a unique blend of romance and chilling suspense, set to release on February 13, 2026.

The trailer introduces Shanaya Kapoor as Miss Vanity, a social media influencer, and Adarsh Gourav as Aalaa Flowpura, a creator from Nalasopara. Their characters, from contrasting worlds, connect through a social media collaboration. The initial motivation is to boost reach and visibility, but their professional synergy soon evolves into a tentative romantic connection.

However, the narrative takes a dark turn when the duo embarks on what seems to be a vacation. As Miss Vanity relaxes by a swimming pool, they find themselves trapped and under attack by a bloodthirsty crocodile.

Adarsh Gourav, recognized for his roles in The White Tiger and Superboys of Malegaon, expressed his excitement about working on the film. He stated that the film's genre was a major draw for him, as it is completely different from his previous work.

Shanaya Kapoor's reasons for saying yes to Tu Yaa Main are likely tied to the film's fresh and youthful take on love and survival, rooted in creator-driven culture. Industry insiders like Karan Johar have already lauded Kapoor's performance, calling her "lovely" and highlighting how well the camera captures her.

The film's trailer has garnered praise for its intense and eerie vibe, with many expressing excitement for its release. The trailer starts with a meta reference to Rakesh Roshan's film Khoon Bhari Maang, where Rekha's character is attacked by a crocodile.

Tu Yaa Main is produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma under the Colour Yellow banner. The film is set to clash at the box office with Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj's O Romeo, which also explores a dark take on love. Mouni Roy and Navya Naveli have shared their anticipation for the film. Ananya Panday humorously mentioned the crocodile being her valentine this year.

Shot in Bangkok, Tu Yaa Main promises to be a survival thriller layered beneath a contemporary romance.
