Avatar: Fire And Ash shows to be CUT by 30% on Christmas Day for Kartik Aaryan’s Tu Meri Main Tera; exhibitors pick Kartik as their first choice

As Dhurandhar is continuing to rule the box office in India, the battle for the Christmas 2025 period is getting intense between the Kartik Aaryan led Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri and the James Cameron film, Avatar: Fire and Ash.
