Kartik Aaryan has reportedly taken a significant pay cut following the box office failure of his recent film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. The romantic drama, which starred Ananya Panday alongside Kartik and released on Christmas 2025, failed to leave a mark at the ticket windows and was overshadowed by the massive success of Dhurandhar. According to reports, the film managed to collect Rs 32.95 crore net in India over its lifetime run. This is a figure that fell short of expectations given its scale and festive release.
