Kartik Aaryan is undoubtedly one of the hottest stars in Bollywood right now, with an unstoppable rise that continues to open doors previously thought to be firmly closed. From being the star of Pyaar Ka Punchnama to his recent successes, Aaryan’s career has seen a meteoric ascent. However, his relationship with Dharma Productions, once a rocky affair, has become a subject of intense fan speculation.
A few years ago, Aaryan was set to star in Dostana 2 alongside Janhvi Kapoor and Lakshya, but the film was abruptly shelved, and tensions between him and Dharma’s Karan Johar grew. The reasons behind the film’s sudden shutdown remain unclear, and for several months, there was a palpable coolness between the actor and the production house. Yet, this turbulent chapter seems to be behind them, as Aaryan is now set to headline Dharma’s latest project, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.
The film, announced just in time for Christmas, has already set fans buzzing with excitement. The kitschy, cool, and retro vibes of the announcement hint at a throwback to the Bollywood rom-coms of the 2010s, but there’s one key detail missing: Who will be the leading lady? Speculation quickly began to swirl, especially when Aaryan’s character was described as having gone through three significant breakups, leading many to believe the film might feature more than one female lead.
Fans wasted no time in diving into the theories, even reopening the chapter on Aaryan’s alleged exes. Comments flooded in, with users playfully suggesting that the film might include his past co-stars, with one remarking, “’Ex’ aur ‘gf’s topic, yk they can create a great hype around this project by bringing Sara in this. Just saying” Another added, “Ananya Jhanvi too” while one quipped, “So lemme get this straight, Karan Johar is producing Kartik Aaryan’s love life’s biopic..”
Along with Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Panday, and Janhvi Kapoor, fans also speculated the inclusion of other names such as Sreeleela, Wamiqa Gabbi, Sharvari, Shanaya Kapoor, and even Alia Bhatt — a potential plot twist that would surely cause a stir. However, while the cast and plot remain under wraps, many expressed reservations about the film’s premise, with some commenting that it seemed reminiscent of earlier Bollywood hits. “It’s giving Bachna Ae Haseeno vibes to me,” one fan remarked, while others compared it to Garam Masala and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, remarking on the film’s potential to follow the male-centric narrative of Luv Ranjan’s films. “Well, this kinda film perfectly suits Kartik; Luv Ranjan genre where film is entirely based on male POV. Hope content is solid enough to back it like Sonu-Titu,” said one user.
It’s worth noting that while the speculation about Aaryan’s relationships with Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Panday, and Janhvi Kapoor continues, none of the stars have ever publicly acknowledged any of the alleged linkups.
The film, set for a 2026 release, will also mark a reunion between Aaryan and his Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023) director Sameer Vidwans. Whether or not Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri will live up to the hype and deliver a fresh take on the rom-com genre remains to be seen, but it’s clear that the buzz surrounding this project is only just beginning.
