SCOOP: The REAL reason why Kartik Aaryan is no longer a part of Karan Johar’s Dostana 2 : Bollywood News – Bollywood Hungama

April 27, 2021

The social media is debating over the latest growth of Karan Johar taking the choice to not work sooner or later with Kartik Aaryan. Some are in favour of the director, whereas some are slamming him for the transfer. Various conspiracy theories are making rounds, with the widespread one being Kartik being unprofessional and creating troubles attributable to his break up with Janhvi Kapoor. Bollywood Hungama has tried to get the actual reason for this fall out.

“Kartik Aaryan had come on board Dostana 2 in 2019 for a minimal amount of Rs. 2-3 crores, and at present his market value is upside of Rs. 10 crores. At first he asked Karan for a hike in his acting fees mid-way as his market value had gone up big time in the last two years. While Karan believed it was unprofessional on Kartik’s part to renegotiate the remuneration mid-way, he tried to compensate him with another film, Mr. Lele. Kartik also agreed to come on board the said film and was all charged up for a quirky ride. But to his surprise, he found himself replaced all of a sudden by Vicky Kaushal without being notified. Kartik was also upset with Dharma Productions when they gave Shashank Khaitan’s Yoddha to Shahid Kapoor. Although Shahid soon quit, they never approached Kartik for the role anyway,” an insider shared with Bollywood Hungama.

Later, Karan provided him one other movie, a cricket story directed by Sharan Sharma of Gunjan Saxena fame. To keep away from being dropped out of the movie, Kartik requested Karan to execute and signal a contract with him. The insider continued additional, “Meanwhile, Kartik continued giving reasons of the Covid 19 pandemic to not start shoot for Dostana 2 and Karan didn’t push him much either given their relationship. But when he shot for Dhamaka, Karan was upset. They had an indoor meeting where Karan expressed his disappointment.” Kartik was clear he wouldn’t shoot for Dostana 2 until he signed Sharan’s subsequent and apparently instructed Karan, ‘I will shoot for Dostana 2, only after you sign the contract for Sharan Sharma’s subsequent.’ Karan felt there was a whole lack of belief and couldn’t decide to the movie till the script and screenplay have been locked,” the insider additional stated.

Karan in the meantime determined to go forward and begin the shoot of Mr. Lele with Vicky Kaushal and Janhvi Kapoor from April. The second Kartik obtained to learn about this growth; he knowledgeable Dharma Productions that the one dates out there for Dostana 2 this 12 months was from April onwards. Karan understood what Kartik was doing and rapidly reprimanded him for a similar. He was genuinely upset with Kartik as Janhvi needed to choose between Dostana 2 and Mr. Lele. Post that incident, Karan and Kartik stopped talking with one another.
