Back in 2023, Kartik Aaryan made headlines. He announced a collaboration with Karan Johar and Ekta Kapoor for an epic war film. This announcement caused a significant stir on social media. As it marked a reconciliation between Kartik and Karan following a public fallout during the filming of “Dostana.” The film, set to be directed by Sandeep Modi, was scheduled to begin production in October this year. Fans eagerly anticipated this high-profile project, expecting a spectacular cinematic experience.
Kartik Aaryan Film Shelved
According to exclusive sources, Karan Johar has decided to put the project with Kartik Aaryan on hold. The source revealed that Karan identified a saturation of patriotic films set against the backdrop of wars in the market, especially after the release of “Yoddha.”
Recognizing this trend, Karan opted to delay the Kartik Aaryan-Sandeep Modi project to avoid redundancy and oversaturation. This strategic move underscores Karan’s acumen in reading market trends and making calculated decisions to ensure the success of his ventures.
Salman Khan Major Project Shelved
In addition to the Kartik Aaryan film, Karan Johar has also decided to put another significant project on hold. It was widely known that Karan was teaming up with Salman Khan. For the first time on a film titled “Bull,” directed by Vishnu Vardhan.
However, this collaboration is also no longer proceeding. The source informed us that both Karan and Salman have amicably decided to move on, with hopes of potentially collaborating on future projects. This decision reflects the dynamic nature of the film industry, where projects can evolve or change course based on various factors.
Dharma Productions’ Future Plans
After shelving of these two major projects, Karan Johar is now focusing on curating a strong lineup for Dharma Productions for the years 2025 and 2026. This proactive approach indicates Karan’s commitment to maintaining Dharma Productions’ reputation for producing high-quality and commercially successful films. By carefully selecting and planning future projects, Karan aims to ensure that Dharma Productions continues to thrive in the competitive film industry.
