KARTIK OUT OF ‘DOSTANA 2’
Rumour has it that top producer and actor had a fallout
Bollywood actor Karthik Aaryan will no longer be a part of Karan Johar’s production Dostana 2 starring Janhvi Kapoor, according to a report in Bollywood Hungama.
While Johar or Aaryan are yet to confirm the developments, industry sources believe that the two had a major fallout and had creative differences. Another reason for Aaryan’s exit is attributed to his date issues.
“Kartik got upset with the banner when they gave Shashank Khaitan’s Yoddha to Shahid Kapoor. Although Shahid soon quit, they never approached Aaryan for the role anyway. Also, since Aaryan’s dates were not available for Dostana 2, Johar decided to go ahead and start Mr. Lele with Vicky Kaushal and Janhvi from April. The moment Aaryan got to know about this development; he informed the production house that the only dates available for Dostana 2 this year will be April onwards. Johar understood what Aaryan was doing and quickly reprimanded him for the same. He was genuinely upset with Aaryan as Janhvi had to pick between Dostana 2 and Mr. Lele. “The last we heard, Johar and Aaryan are not speaking a word to each other,” said a source to Bollywood Hungama.
It’s yet to be known who will replace Aaryan in Dostana 2. Johar’s original Dostana starring Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham was hugely successful.
