Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan reportedly took a significant voluntary pay cut of ₹15 crore from his remuneration for the film 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri' after its dismal performance at the box office. The romantic comedy, which also starred Ananya Panday and was produced by Dharma Productions, was released on December 25, 2025, and failed to make a substantial impact. It garnered approximately ₹47.05 crore worldwide and ₹30.09 crore net in India, being widely termed a box office disaster. This move by Aaryan comes amid a challenging period for the Hindi film industry, with many big-budget films underperforming. Industry insiders have lauded his action as a responsible gesture, emphasizing the need for stars to support producers during financial setbacks. There had been speculation about a potential fallout between Kartik Aaryan and producer Karan Johar following the film's failure. However, credible sources have debunked these rumors, clarifying that Aaryan's decision was an act of support for the production house. Furthermore, Aaryan continues his professional association with Dharma Productions and is currently shooting for their upcoming horror-comedy project, 'Naagzilla'. This is not the first instance of Kartik Aaryan adjusting his fees to aid producers; he reportedly took a similar pay cut after his earlier film 'Shehzada' underperformed at the box office.
