Kartik still on the top of his game

Despite

being thrown out of Karan

Johar’s Dostana and another film,

Kartik Aaryan is still among Bollywood’s

top bracket

For starters, the actor has been signed by big producers like Sajid Nadiadwala, Ekta Kapoor and Ronnie Screwvala, and continues to work with T Series.

One might recall that after the tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput in June 2020, some who claim his death was by suicide have been assuming that he may have taken the drastic step after he had lost many projects in Bollywood.

However, despite his losses with Karan Johar, Kartik is already working with traditional producers like Sajid Nadiadwala and

Ekta Kapoor in the upcoming films, the previously titled Sameer Vidwans-directorial Satyanarayan Ki Katha and Freddy, respectively. Additionally, Kartik is doing two films with Ronnie Screwvala, who runs a corporate film production house — Ram Madhvani’s Dhamaka and Hansal Mehta’s Captain India.

Apart from all that mentioned above,

Kartik is also doing Anees Bazmee’s

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. In fact, Kiara Advani, a regular Karan Johar camp actress, is now the lead actress opposite Kartik in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.

Speaking about how Bollywood is used to having camps, writer and film historian Imtiaz Baghdadi adds, “Earlier, it was not a practice that one actor from a certain camp would work with other big producers belonging to another camp. But given

Kartik Aaryan’s case, the lines seem to have blurred and the industry has surely changed its working pattern. It does not seem to be blindly following the biggies,” he says.
