How Did Karan Johar, Kartik Aaryan Resolve Their Fallout? Filmmaker Reveals It All
In 2021, Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar had a major fallout. The former was dropped from filmmaker's Dostana 2.
It is not a secret that Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar had a major fallout in 2021. The two resolved their conflicts last year and are now working together on two projects – Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri and Nagzilla. However, how did Kartik and KJo end their fight?
In a recent interview, the filmmaker opened up about the same when he told Bollywood Hungama, 'We internally discussed it, worked it out, and we let bygones be bygones. And Kartik is an immensely hardworking, very connected big star today who has a wide audience base, has a great instinct on screenplay. He and I met, collaborated, decided to come together. It was all kosher, all lovely."
'And I've had, he's had, we've all had our issues with each other. But it's a tiny industry, which I call a family. And I believe that within a family, sometimes there are complaints, but at the end of the day, you know, good people want to make good films and come together to create good content," Karan added and then concluded by saying, 'As I said, we don't sweat the small stuff. We have the larger vision to look at."
For the unversed, in 2021, Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar had a major fallout. The former was dropped from the filmmaker's Dostana 2. The film was supposed to feature Kartik alongside Janhvi Kapoor. Even though the shooting of the movie had already begun, Kartik was removed from it. The rumours about Kartik's 'unprofessional" behaviour upsetting KJo surfaced online.
However, on Kartik's 33rd birthday in 2023, Karan Johar ended their fight. He took to his official Instagram account to announce a movie with the actor.
Later, Kartik was also speaking to Lallantop when he opened up about his fallout with KJo and said, 'I was silent when the news came about and I choose to stay silent even now. I am 100% focused on my work and when controversies of such nature happen, I stay calm about them. I don't get involved a lot in them and I don't have to prove anything to anyone by getting involved."

Karan Johar's Rs 32 cr Mumbai duplex has a bedroom-turned-closet, Hollywood-style glam room; designer Gauri Khan called it ‘subtly over-the-top'
'Glamorous, chic and subtly over-the-top,' is how Gauri Khan described Karan Johar's luxurious Bandra apartment, which she herself designed. Earlier, Karan had given a home tour of his residence, which reflects his personality — with all things modern and glam while also offering cozy corners to relax in, including a massive closet space. Let's take a detailed look inside his stylish bachelor pad. Karan Johar's apartment has been featured in many videos. During his interaction with Asian Paints, Karan shared a look at his living room, which has several cozy sofas. The filmmaker pointed out that while most of the sofas are in different shades of beige, he added a green and blue sofa to break the monotony. The living space is also decked up with a grand chandelier that ties together the cozy and luxurious vibe of the room. Adjacent to the living room is the dining area, which boasts a large dining table made of wood and marble. Karan revealed that he often conducts meetings at this very table. In fact, he, Alia Bhatt, and Ranveer Singh held discussions about Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani at this spot. During the chat, Karan Johar admitted that Shah Rukh Khan's wife and his close friend, Gauri Khan, designed the apartment for him. Interestingly, Karan shared that he had not even seen his home before Gauri completed its interiors. He told Architectural Digest India, 'I have no contribution to it. This is Gauri Khan's baby. The night we called really close friends for dinner was the night I saw the house for the first time, so when I was showing it, I was also seeing it.' Karan then takes the viewers to his bedroom, which features a cozy bed. However, the highlight for most viewers is the massive closet space attached to his bedroom. Known for owning exclusive attire and accessories from global luxury brands like Balenciaga, Gucci, and Prada, Karan revealed in the clip that he converted an entire bedroom into a closet to accommodate his extensive collection of branded jackets, shoes, and bags. The filmmaker also has a separate glam room featuring a large mirror surrounded by lights. The room includes a vintage-style glam chair reminiscent of classic Hollywood. Karan also shared a look at his deck, which is furnished with patio furniture. The area is adorned with tall plants and features white and blue patio decor. 'This feels like some kind of Amazonian jungle where greenery is coming at you from everywhere,' Karan said while describing the space. In a video featured on Farah Khan's YouTube channel, Karan Johar showcased the lower portion of his duplex apartment, which serves as his office. Farah guided viewers through the space, which includes a bar and large leather sofas where Karan listens to scripts and holds meetings. The staircase connecting the two levels of the apartment is made of wood, with a glass railing and brass-toned finishings. The 8,000-square-foot apartment, located on Carter Road in Bandra, is valued between Rs 30- 32 crore. According to MagicBricks, the estimated rate is approximately Rs 40,000 per square foot. Karan bought this apartment in 2010.

The teaser though, suggests that the movie is based on true events. Reports also suggested that Ranveer plays young Ajit Doval in the film. Earlier, Bollywood Hungama had quoted a source saying that will not be playing Doval, even though the film will touch upon his life. This source told the portal that Madhavan plays Doval and that it's something which the actor was really looking forward to, as he's sporting a new look for the film.

Ranbir Kapoor's 'Ramayana' is the most expensive Indian film in history. The budget will blow your mind
The forthcoming cinematic adaptation of the epic Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, has quickly emerged as one of the most eagerly awaited films in the Indian film industry. Recently, the makers dropped an official announcement video, presenting a series of visually stunning glimpses from the project. The video's striking scale and visual depth immediately drew significant attention online, amplifying the excitement of fans and further boosting anticipation for what promises to be a monumental cinematic experience. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama , the film is backed by an unprecedented production cost of Rs 1600 crore, making Ramayana the most expensive film series ever undertaken in Indian cinema. The opening part alone has a massive allocation of ₹900 crore, while the subsequent chapter is budgeted at Rs 700 crore. The reason behind this disparity, as disclosed by an insider, lies in the heavy investment required for creating the universe, characters, and elaborate settings in the first film. These foundational elements—once established—will continue into the sequel, allowing the second installment to concentrate primarily on the action sequences, reducing the need for further world-building expenses. Ramayana is being developed as a joint venture between Namit Malhotra's DNEG, Prime Focus Studios, and Yash's production house, Monster Mind Creations. The creative team does not view the two parts as isolated projects with individual budgets but instead considers the Rs 1600 crore as a comprehensive investment for the entire saga. The producers aim to create a timeless cinematic epic that not only resonates with Indian audiences but also leaves a lasting impact globally. With such a colossal budget and vision, the project is poised to redefine standards in the Indian film industry. To further enrich the film's emotional depth and storytelling, musical legends Hans Zimmer and A.R. Rahman have come on board to compose the soundtrack and background score. Their collaboration is expected to add a unique and powerful sonic identity to the narrative. Simultaneously, discussions are underway with a major Hollywood studio to facilitate international distribution, ensuring that Ramayana reaches audiences across the world and not just in India. The film also features an ensemble of celebrated actors. Ranbir Kapoor plays the divine role of Lord Rama, while Sai Pallavi portrays Mata Sita. Sunny Deol will appear as Hanuman, and Yash will bring to life the complex character of Ravan. The cast also includes prominent names such as Kajal Aggarwal, Ravi Dubey, Arun Govil, and Lara Dutta in significant supporting roles. The first part of Ramayana is scheduled for release during Diwali 2026, with the second installment set to arrive a year later in Diwali 2027, promising audiences a visually grand and emotionally resonant retelling of one of India's greatest epics.
