The makers of Indian filmmaker Bejoy Nambiar’s survival thriller “Tu Yaa Main” have unveiled the film’s teaser, offering audiences their first glimpse at the edge-of-the-seat drama starring Adarsh Gourav and Shanaya Kapoor, set for a Valentine’s Day-adjacent release on Friday, Feb. 13.
The teaser plunges viewers into the world of two content creators from contrasting backgrounds who unite for a collaboration fueled by curiosity, social media clout and mutual attraction. What begins as an energetic adventure spirals into a deadly confrontation with a menacing crocodile, transforming their content creation mission into a desperate fight for survival.
The film marks a departure from traditional Bollywood Valentine’s Day fare by blending romance with high-octane danger.

Nambiar directs from a script by Abhishek Bandekar that speaks to contemporary youth culture, merging the world of digital content creation with primal survival stakes. The film is produced by Aanand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma under their Colour Yellow banner, alongside Vinod Bhanushali and Kamlesh Bhanushali of Bhanushali Studios Limited.
Gourav broke through internationally with his BAFTA-nominated performance in Netflix’s “The White Tiger,” which also earned him an Independent Spirit Award nomination. The actor has since appeared in “Guns & Gulaabs,” “Kho Gaye Hum Kahan,” Toronto selection “Superboys of Malegaon,” and Apple TV’s “Extrapolations.” Most recently, he was in FX series “Alien: Earth,” playing the character Slightly in the prequel to Ridley Scott’s iconic sci-fi franchise. He made his acting debut as a teenager in Karan Johar’s “My Name Is Khan.”
Kapoor makes her second big screen appearance following her debut in “Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan,” released in 2025.
Nambiar, who earned acclaim for stylized thrillers “Shaitan” and “David,” most recently directed the bilingual action drama – “Dange” in the Hindi language and “Por” in Tamil – in 2024.
