										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Mumbai |</strong> Kartik Aaryan’s film career continues to soar as he adds another exciting project to his lineup. The actor, currently finishing Anurag Basu’s romantic drama <em><strong>Tu Meri Zindagi Hai</strong></em>, is also preparing for the release of his upcoming romantic comedy with Ananya Panday titled <em><strong>Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri</strong></em>, produced by Karan Johar and scheduled to release on the last day of this year.<a href="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-2.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-26481 aligncenter" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-2-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="693" height="416" srcset="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-2-300x180.jpg 300w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-2-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-2-768x461.jpg 768w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-2-750x450.jpg 750w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-2-1140x684.jpg 1140w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-2.jpg 1440w" sizes="(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px" /></a>Following these projects, Kartik has reportedly signed <strong><em>Ram Aur Shyam</em></strong>, which will mark his first film featuring a double role. The movie will be directed by filmmaker Anees Bazmee, with whom Kartik previously collaborated on the blockbuster <em><strong>Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2</strong></em>.</p>
<p><strong>A Fresh Take on the Classic Double Role</strong></p>
<p>Though neither the actor nor the director has officially commented on the film, sources close to the production have revealed that both share a strong working relationship and mutual respect built during their previous collaboration. Kartik had long been interested in exploring a double role, and Anees Bazmee was considered the ideal choice to write and direct the project.<a href="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-3.jpg"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-26482 aligncenter" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-3-300x158.jpg" alt="" width="676" height="356" srcset="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-3-300x158.jpg 300w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-3-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-3-768x405.jpg 768w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-3-750x395.jpg 750w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-3-1140x601.jpg 1140w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/kartik-3.jpg 1345w" sizes="(max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>The upcoming <em>Ram Aur Shyam</em> will reportedly be a comedy but will offer a unique approach to the genre, differing from earlier double-role classics such as Dilip Kumar’s <em>Ram Aur Shyam</em>, Rajesh Khanna’s <em>Sachcha Jhootha</em>, Shah Rukh Khan’s <em>Duplicate</em>, and Hrithik Roshan’s <em>Kaho Naa&#8230; Pyaar Hai</em>.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Not a Remake of the 1967 Classic</strong></p>
<p>Despite sharing its title with Dilip Kumar’s 1967 hit, the new <em>Ram Aur Shyam</em> is not a remake and will present an entirely original storyline. The film is expected to showcase Kartik’s versatility as an actor while giving audiences a fresh flavor of comedy under Anees Bazmee’s direction.</p>
<p>With a packed schedule and a series of diverse roles ahead, Kartik Aaryan continues to establish himself as one of Bollywood’s most dynamic and bankable stars.</p>

<p>Announcing the film, Tseries Instagram account read, &#8220;We&#8217;re excited to announce our next, a thriller, starring @adityaroykapur in a double role for the first time. Hindi remake of the Tamil hit, #Thadam, to be directed by Vardhan Ketkar&#8221;</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-20078" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/IMG_20210729_141051-184x300.jpg" alt="" width="184" height="300" srcset="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/IMG_20210729_141051-184x300.jpg 184w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/IMG_20210729_141051-626x1024.jpg 626w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/IMG_20210729_141051-768x1256.jpg 768w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/IMG_20210729_141051-940x1536.jpg 940w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/IMG_20210729_141051-750x1226.jpg 750w, https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/IMG_20210729_141051.jpg 1079w" sizes="(max-width: 184px) 100vw, 184px" /></p>
<p>The film is set to go on floors in September this year.</p>
<p>Talking about this challenging role, Aditya said, &#8220;I am inspired and excited to be part of telling such an interesting story. The original film was incredibly riveting and entertaining, and it left a lasting impression on me. As an actor, getting a chance to do a double role is double the preparation and double the challenge, and I’m certainly up for it! I look forward to collaborating with Bhushanji, Murad Bhai and Vardhan to bring this exciting thriller to the screen soon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Murad Khetani added, &#8220;When Murad Bhai shared the idea of the Hindi remake of Thadam I was excited as it had received a lot of acclaim down south. Working with like-minded people is always fun, that is why I like collaborating with Murad Bhai. The last film we did with Aditya was an action film and everyone loved him in that role. We all mutually agreed he will fit the characters in this as well.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Aditya Roy Kapur will be seen in upcoming film OM-The Battle Within alongside Dil Bechara actress Sanjana Sanghi. The action thriller film features the actor duo sporting a rugged action look that they have carried for their action sequences.</p>
