Karan Johar admits he had issues with Kartik Aaryan: ‘Family mein gile shikwe ho jaate hain'
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Karan shared how they worked things out.
He said, 'I think we internally discussed it, worked it out and let bygones be bygones. Kartik is an immensely hardworking actor and a very connective big star today who has a wide audience space. He has a great instinct on screenplay. He and I met, collaborated and decided to come together — it was all lovely.'
'I have had, he's had issues with each other, but it's a tiny industry, which I call a family. I believe that in a family, kabhi kabhi gile shikwe ho jaate hain (sometimes complaints and misunderstandings happen), but I think good people want to make good films, create good content and, as I said, we don't sweat the small stuff — we have a larger vision to look at.'
Karan Johar's Dharma Productions backed Dostana 2. It was initially set to star Kartik and Janhvi Kapoor. Around the same time, Kartik was rumoured to be dating Janhvi.
The project was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Later, the production team shared that the cast of the film would undergo changes, confirming Kartik's exit.
Meanwhile, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri will star Ananya Panday, opposite Kartik in the lead. It is directed by Sameer Vidwans, who worked with Kartik in SatyaPrem Ki Katha.
The film is currently under production. It is set to hit the theatres on February 13, 2026.
Besides this, Kartik also has Nagzilla, which is eyeing a release next year as well.
His last film was Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
Meanwhile, Karan Johar's last film to release was Kesari Chapter 2, starring Akshay Kumar. He is currently busy with the hosting duties of Amazon Prime Video's The Traitors. He is also promoting his debut podcast series, Live Your Best Life with Karan Johar.

Anurag Kashyap says Siddhant Chaturvedi's comment changed Ananya Panday
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently opened up about actor Ananya Panday, calling her his favourite "nepo baby". Recalling Siddhant Chaturvedi's viral "struggle" remark directed at her, Kashyap praised Panday's growth and the evolving choices she's made in her a conversation with The Juggernaut, Kashyap said, 'I think she has figured it out,' he said, referring to the shift in her approach to acting. Kashyap recalled Siddhant Chaturvedi's viral remark - 'Our struggles end where yours begin' - from a past interview, noting that Ananya took it personally. 'That really hit her, and I think it changed something in her,' he pointed to her performances in 'CTRL', 'Kho Gaye Hum Kahan', and 'Gehraiyaan' as examples of her artistic evolution. 'She is doing great stuff. She is taking risks, and she is quite mature. She experiments,' he added. The filmmaker also addressed the larger conversation around nepotism, offering a layered view. 'More than the kids, I think the problem is that the parents are not letting them make their own choices. For safety, the parental instinct kicks in,' he too, has previously reflected on the assumptions that follow star kids. Responding to industry bias due to her father Chunky Panday, she had said, 'Just because I'm an actor's daughter, I'm not going to say no to an opportunity. My dad has not been in a Dharma film, he's never been on 'Koffee With Karan'. It's not as easy as people think.'Siddhant's earlier comment continues to resonate in this discourse. 'Everybody has their own struggles. The only difference is, where our dreams get fulfilled, their struggle begins,' he had said, capturing the dualities of privilege and pressure within the Ananya Panday is shooting for 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri', co-starring Kartik Aaryan, scheduled to release in 2026.

It is a story that makes you wake up and think. These topics are not just related to small towns, but they happen around us too. It is a true reality of our times, no matter where you live," he added.
