Hyderabad: 2023 can easily be termed as the year of patch-ups. After singer Arijit Singh was spotted leaving superstar Salman Khan's house and Karan Johar signed Kartik Aaryan for a new film, this year can be officially called the year of patch-ups. One year from now, if somebody said that Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol would be singing praises of each other, it would sound like a made-up story. However, it is the reality of 2023.
Another infamous public fallout was Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan's creative differences after announcing Dostana 2. It lead to Kartik's exit from the movie. However, it seems like all is fine between the two as Karan has now officially announced a movie with him.
