In a surprising turn of events, Kartik Aaryan’s collaboration with Karan Johar and Ekta Kapoor for an epic war film, announced back in 2023, has been put on hold. This announcement caused quite a buzz on social media, hinting at a reconciliation between Kartik and Karan following their public fallout during the shooting of Dostana. The film, to be directed by Sandeep Modi, was initially scheduled to begin filming in October of this year.
