In a notable move for the Hindi film industry, Kartik Aaryan has reportedly adjusted his financial arrangements following the release of his latest film, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. Industry sources indicate that the actor has waived ₹15 crore from his professional fee for the project, which faced a difficult run at the box office after its Christmas 2025 release.
The decision comes amid widespread speculation regarding Kartik’s professional relationship with Karan Johar. By opting for a significant fee reduction, the actor has effectively dismissed rumors of a fallout, choosing instead to reinforce his association with DCAA (Dharma Collab Artists Agency).
Rather than distancing himself from the project’s commercial outcome, Kartik’s move is being viewed as a gesture of solidarity with his producers during a challenging market phase. Kartik remains a key talent under the DCAA umbrella, signaling that his long-term career strategy is firmly rooted in his partnership with the Dharma talent wing.
This is not the first instance where the actor has stepped up to support a project’s financial structure; a similar gesture was noted during the production of Shehzada, where he prioritized the film’s completion over his personal remuneration.
The partnership between Kartik Aaryan and Dharma Productions remains active and focused on the future. The actor is currently moving forward with the creature-comedy Naagzilla, where he portrays the character Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand. The film is currently in progress and is scheduled for a major release on August 14, 2026.
This ₹15 crore adjustment is seen by trade analysts as a “reset” that allows both the actor and the production house to move into their upcoming slate with a clean slate and a strengthened bond.
Reports even suggest that discussions for a third collaboration between the actor and the production house are already underway, proving that the bond has only been strengthened by this recent financial reset. To know such latest updates tuned to tellyboosters.com Thank you!
