Earlier this year, there were reports floating around about an alleged fallout between Karan Johar and Ayan Mukerji, after the latter took his ‘Brahmastra’ franchise to a different production house. While the two film-makers didn’t comment about it publicly, they were spotted together at the YJHD reunion party. Now a fresh report has surfaced that claims Karan Johar and Ayan Mukerji recently met each other at Karan Johar’s office.
As per a source close to the portal Hindustan Times, while the context of their meeting remains unclear whether it was about Brahmastra Part 2 or not, the two might be keen to collaborate again, as soon as Ayan fulfills his commitment towards War 2, “The two met at Johar’s office for a meeting. So whatever friction that might have arisen due to Brahmastra, seems to not be there anymore. Johar has been Ayan’s mentor so this bitterness was not going to be there for long. They are on talking terms and looking for a way to collaborate again,” the source stated.
The source also commented on Ranbir Kapoor’s amicability with Karan Johar, “Ranbir and KJo’s professional collaboration in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil remains close to KJo’s heart. In fact he messaged Ranbir after watching the trailer of his latest action film. He even took to Instagram to share praise for him, calling him a genius.”
In April, a Bollywood Hungama report claimed that Karan Johar and Ayan Mukerji had a fallout over Brahmastra 2 and Brahmastra 3. It was claimed that Ayan is taking the franchise to another production house due to the tiff. The rumour stemmed from Ayan’s recent announcement about postponing the release of Brahmastra 2 and 3. The announcement did not feature Dharma Productions nor did Ayan tag Karan Johar. This allegedly did not go down well with Karan. The report also claimed that Ayan has been speaking to other production houses about taking Brahmastra on board, given that the IP is with him.
Soon after, a source told Hindustan Times that there is no truth in this report. However, Karan and Ayan did not address the rumours head on.
Meanwhile, on the work front, it is reported that Ayan has been roped in to director War 2. The film stars Hrithik Roshan in the lead and RRR star Jr NTR is reportedly playing the villain in the movie. It is a part of YRF’s new and blooming spy-universe.
