What is the story about?
Rumors of a rift between Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar have circulated ever since their latest collaborationTu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri failed
to resonate at the box office. However, sources within the industry have firmly rejected these assertions, labeling them unfounded. In fact, according to multiple reports, Kartik extended a notable gesture of goodwill towards Johar shortly after the film's debut by relinquishing Rs 15 crore from his earnings. Previous articles indicated that Kartik charged Rs 50 crore for the film.
No 'Dostaana' lost between Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar
Sources reveal that Kartik’s choice has been met with widespread approval and is viewed as a commendable and responsible action during a period when many Hindi films are facing challenges at the box office. A source cited by Bollywood Bubble remarked, “Actors often take the spotlight when their films succeed, but many disappear when a film underperforms. Kartik stands out as one of the few stars of this era who has demonstrated maturity and accountability. Every actor experiences highs and lows. Those who support their producers during tough times are the ones who ultimately enjoy enduring and prosperous careers.”
This act is not new for the actor. It has been reported that Kartik previously took a similar step after Shehzada did not succeed at the box office, opting to forgo a significant part of his payment to assist the film’s producers.
Kartik-Karan to continue collaborations
Additionally, reports indicate that both Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar have dismissed rumors suggesting that Johar’s talent agency DCAA and Kartik have severed their ties. According to India Today, insiders close to Karan Johar’s team have confirmed that no such division has occurred. Kartik is expected to maintain his relationship with DCAA, with no official announcements indicating otherwise.
Currently, Kartik is engaged in the filming of Nagzilla, which is co-produced by Dharma Productions. Sources at Dharma assert that there is no discord between the actor and the producer, and plans are already in motion for a third collaboration. Rather than a fallout, it seems the Kartik-Karan alliance is firmly intact.
