The Kartik and Karan Johar dynamic has been in the news ever since Dharma Productions announced the recasting of Dostana 2 in 2021. Kartik Aaryan was initially meant to star in the film. The duo reunited at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne in August last year and the photo went viral, naturally. The two were also spotted chatting at an award show last year. The duo announced a film together in 2023.
On Kartik Aaryan's 33rd birthday last year, Karan Johar announced that he will produce a film starring Kartik Aaryan. Without sharing much details about the project, Karan Johar wrote, "Kickstarting today with some special news on a special day! Extremely thrilled to announce Dharma Movies and Balaji Motion Pictures coming together for a film helmed by the exceptionally talented Sandeep Modi. I find myself elated to also announce the supremely talented Kartik Aaryan as our lead for this story that will unfold in cinemas on 15th August, 2025."
