The Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 actor shared that the team of Anurag Basu's romantic musical was on the lookout for the leading lady opposite him and the auditions were organised for months. The team had locked on the actress and continued to interact with her on Instagram. However, it turned out later that the Insta handle that Basu's team was seemingly conversing with regarding the movie opposite Kartik was an AI-operated handle. Although Kartik did not delve into the details, it appears as if the production was duped by AI generated images and believed them to be of a real woman.

Appearing on a podcast on Yuvaa, Kartik shared, "Cast kar rahe the ek film ke liye. Bahut time tak auditions chal rahe the. Instagram pe select ho gayi thi ek ladki aur ek mahine se we were getting in touch. Last mein pata chala AI thi woh. Poora account hi AI driven tha. Yeh real story hai bana nahi raha hoon. Yeh Basu sir ki film hai. Nobody knew but she was really good."

Eventually, Basu's untitled film with Kartik cast Sreeleela in the lead role. This will mark her first Bollywood movie. The title and release date of Kartik-Sreeleela starrer is not yet confirmed. In media reports, it continues to be referred as Aashiqui 3.
