Amid much speculation, Karan Johar has cleared the air about changing the release date of his upcoming rom-com starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. The film, which releases on December 25, will be competing at the box office with Ranveer Singh`s Dhurandhar, which is going strong since its release on December 5, as well as James Cameron`s Avatar: Fire and Ash. After Ikkis makers announced the postponement of its release date from December 24, chatter began that Karan Johar too might back off from the race.
Sharing his thoughts on the box office clash of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, Karan said,” I’m incredibly proud of the success of Dhurandhar. My congratulations to the entire team, it’s an incredible film. I’ve heard some great things about Avatar, but I have also heard amazing things about our film. I know it’s a festive release
