Adarsh Gourav’s star power continues to rise, with his upcoming film Tu Yaa Main generating plenty of buzz even before its official release.

Directed by Bejoy Nambiar, this highly anticipated thriller stars Gourav alongside Shanaya Kapoor and promises to be an adrenaline-fueled journey through the heart-pounding world of survival. Described as a "date fright" film, Tu Yaa Main blends romance, thriller, and survival elements, following a couple whose seemingly innocent date night spirals into a terrifying struggle for survival in a ruthless jungle.

The film is expected to explore the stark contrasts between the characters’ socio-economic backgrounds and their differing worldviews, set against the backdrop of a wild and unforgiving environment. The chemistry between Gourav and Kapoor is also expected to be a major highlight, with their contrasting energies making for a "wild ride," according to early teasers.

With a gripping narrative, stunning cinematography, and an evocative soundtrack, Tu Yaa Main is poised to keep audiences on the edge of their seats when it hits theaters on Valentine’s Day 2026.

Tu Yaa Main is not the only survival drama and thriller Adarsh Gourav is starring in next. In fact, the actor is already lined up for a completely different kind of high-stakes survival story, it is one that involves something far beyond the ordinary.

The actor is also set to star in Alien: Earth, an ambitious new sci-fi horror series set to premiere in August 2025 on FX and Hulu. Created by Noah Hawley, Alien: Earth serves as a prequel to the 1979 cult classic Alien. The series, which takes place two years before the events of the original film, sees a ragtag group of soldiers and civilians on a dangerous mission following the crash-landing of the space vessel Maginot on Earth.
