Kartik Aaryan makes a strategic move — bids adieu to Collective Artists Network, joins Dharma Cornerstone Agency

Kartik Aaryan has made a pivotal industry move-he’s officially parted ways with long-time manager team Collective Artists Network (CAN) and has inked a new charter with power-players Dharma Cornerstone Agency (DCA), founded by Karan Johar and Rajeev Masand, as per a report by Exchange4Media. This shift comes at a key moment, signalling a fresh beginning as the actor gears up for an ambitious 2026 slate. The transition follows the much-publicised fallout at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa last year. Back then, Kartik’s session to promote his film was abruptly cancelled after his former team’s reported list of demands-10 extra tickets, two luxury suites, additional five-star accommodations-clashed with festival organisers. This sparked industry chatter about the role of management in star reputations. Now, aligning with DCA-an agency boasting over 200 talents across film, music and digital-is a strategic upgrade. The roster includes heavyweights like Janhvi Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Panday and more in the Bollywood arena; beyond that, the agency represents music artistes and digital creators too. For Kartik, this means fresh access to premium brand deals, multi-platform ventures, and an enhanced image engine. Interestingly, this move also signals a reconciliation with the “Dharma circle.” Though earlier whispers suggested friction between Aaryan and Karan Johar-at one point the actor missed out on a major Johar-backed casting-this new partnership signals a fresh chapter and perhaps a reset of alliances. What does this mean for the future? A lot. Kartik’s 2026 line-up already looks punchy: Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri with Ananya Panday, the supernatural thriller Naagzilla (slated August 14, 2026) alongside the much-anticipated romantic film with Anurag Basu, which also stars Sreeleela. With DCA’s machinery in place, he’s now geared not just for box-office punch but also for image elevation, endorsements, digital footprint expansion-and perhaps the move into the league of A-list superstars.

EXCLUSIVE: Thamma vs Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat screen-sharing battle begins; makers of Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer demand ALL shows in single and two-screen cinemas

The much-anticipated Diwali releases, Thamma and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, are just days away, and the excitement across the trade, industry, and audiences is palpable. As with every major festive clash, the battle for screens has intensified. Bollywood Hungama has learned that the first round of this tussle between the distributors of both films has already begun. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, is being distributed by PVR Inox Pictures. Its distributor-partner in the Mumbai circuit, August Entertainment, has sent a mail to cinemas in the territory informing them about their screen-sharing requirements. They have asked for all shows in single-screen cinemas and two screen theatres. They have also asked for 12 shows in three-screen multiplexes; it means 100% showcasing in two of the three screens and a show or two in the third screen as well.”The mail from August Entertainment further states that they want 15 shows of Thamma in four-screen theatres, 18 shows in five-screen cinemas, 21 shows in six-screen multiplexes, 24 shows in seven-screen multiplexes, 27 shows in eight-screen multiplexes, 30 shows in nine-screen plexes and 33 shows in 10-screen theatres. It’s important to note that this move has come directly from August Entertainment, which is handling the release of Thamma in the Mumbai circuit. How distributors in other regions respond, and whether they follow suit with similar demands, remains to be seen. Nevertheless, the exhibitors have expressed reservations. An exhibitor told us, “We would definitely want to show Thamma as it looks exciting. But single-screen cinemas should also be given a chance to play Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. In fact, it’s the single-screen theatres where the Harshvardhan Rane-film can score big time. And let’s not forget that the Marathi film Premachi Goshta 2 and the Gujarati film Chaniya Toli are also up for release this Diwali. Some cinemas would want to accommodate it as well. Hence, we hope a solution can be found.”Another exhibitor remarked, “The mail from August Entertainment mentions that the rule exists only for non-PVR, non-Inox and non-Cinepolis cinemas. We feel it’s not fair and it should be uniform for all cinemas.”Meanwhile, a trade expert commented, “Just a few weeks ago, we saw what happened during the Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 vs Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari clash. At that time, the makers of the former asked for 100% shows in single-screen, two-screen and three-screen cinemas. Even in theatres with four screens and more, they asked for nearly 80-90% of showcasing. At least, the distributors are reasonable in the case of Thamma.”Also Read: Ayushmann Khurrana flashes fake vampire teeth as he and Rashmika Mandanna promote Thamma in Delhi.
