Reconciliation
Aaryan and Johar's reunion after rumored fallout
This project is especially interesting as it reunites Aaryan and Johar after their rumored fallout in 2022.
The rumors started when Dharma Productions announced a recasting for Dostana 2, which originally featured Aaryan and Janhvi Kapoor.
However, the film was eventually put on the back burner.
Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri is produced by Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Shareen Mantri Kedia, and Kishor Arora.
Vidwans-Aaryan's bond
Earlier, Sajid Nadiadwala was approached for this film
Earlier this month, a report by Mid-Day stated, "During the shoot of Satyaprem Ki Katha, Kartik was so impressed by Sameer that he had expressed his wish to work with him again."
Aaryan and Vidwans first approached Sajid Nadiadwala, the producer of Satyaprem Ki Katha.
However, Nadiadwala turned it down as he is busy with four upcoming projects: Salman Khan's Sikandar, Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5, Tiger Shroff's Baaghi 4, and Vishal Bhardwaj-Shahid Kapoor's film.
Finally, Johar came aboard.
