Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan are set to team up once again, marking their third film together. This new project is expected to begin filming in August 2026, right after the duo completes Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri and Naagzilla. Their repeated collaborations clearly show how Kartik’s association with Dharma Productions is getting stronger, alongside his growing presence in the industry.

A Bollywood Hungama report mentioned that Kartik has already agreed to take on another lead role under Dharma’s banner. While the plot is still under wraps, the report suggests that the film is being developed from scratch. A source quoted in the piece said, “Kartik has already given Karan Johar the green light for another film, the details of which are being closely guarded. Within Dharma, he’s now being positioned as the banner’s new poster boy, rapidly scaling up by fronting multiple big-ticket projects. Karan is convinced that Kartik is among the most bankable heroes in the country right now and is staking huge box-office hopes on Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri and Naagzilla as major money-spinners at the ticket windows.”

This upcoming venture is being described as genre-defining, even though the makers haven’t revealed much about it yet. What is confirmed is that the shoot begins in August 2026, setting up a packed period ahead for both Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan.
