IFFM will also showcase multiple screenings of Kartik's films including 'Satyaprem Ki Katha' and 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2', which emerged as one of the biggest hits of 2022.
Also, IFFM will also pay tribute to the filmmaker Karan Johar by celebrating his visionary storytelling, and his unwavering passion for cinema.
The festival will showcase Johar's exceptional contribution to Indian cinema by hosting a series of events and special screenings in his honor.
Meanwhile, on the film front, Kartik will be next seen in director Kabir Khan’s upcoming film ‘Chandu Champion’ which is all set to hit the theatres on June 14, 2024.
He recently wrapped up the London schedule of his film.
Karan, on the other hand, recently helmed the romantic drama film ‘Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ which starred Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, and Shabana Azmi.
The film has minted Rs 200 crore globally, according to estimates.
Kartik and Karan reportedly had a falling out in 2021, while working together on Dostana 2. Kartik was to star with Janhvi Kapoor in Dostana 2, but the actor was dropped from the project.
Karan Johar's Production House 'Dharma Productions' officially announced Kartik's exit from the film.
In their official statement posted on Instagram, the production house stated that "due to professional circumstances, on which we have decided to maintain dignified silence- we will be recasting Dostana 2, directed by Collin D'Cunha. Please wait for the official announcement soon." (ANI)
