Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan and filmmaker Karan Johar are set to collaborate once again, marking their third project together under Dharma Productions. According to reports, the new film is expected to go on floors in August 2026, immediately after the completion of their ongoing projects Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri and the fantasy thriller Naagzilla.
Industry insiders reveal that this upcoming project is being developed entirely from scratch, with details of the storyline being kept under wraps. A source close to the production confirmed, “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.”
This announcement highlights the strengthening partnership between Aaryan and Johar, which has quickly become one of the most talked-about collaborations in Bollywood. Their repeated projects together signal Dharma’s confidence in Kartik’s rising star power and his ability to connect with Gen-Z audiences.
The actor, who has steadily built a reputation for delivering box-office hits, is now seen as one of the most bankable stars of his generation. His association with Dharma Productions further cements his place in the industry, with fans eagerly awaiting what this new venture will bring.
While the title and genre of the film remain undisclosed, the buzz around Kartik Aaryan’s third collaboration with Karan Johar suggests another high-profile project that could shape the next phase of his career.
