Kartik Aaryan’s name started trending on Twitter on Friday after reports emerged that he is no longer a part of filmmaker Karan Johar’s upcoming Dostana 2.
An official statement from Johar’s Dharma Productions said, “Due to professional circumstances, on which we have decided to maintain a dignified silence – we will be recasting ‘Dostana 2’, directed by Collin D’Cunha. Please wait for the official announcement soon.”
Reports about Aaryan being replaced were doing the rounds on social media since morning. “Dostaana” also features Janhvi Kapoor.
As per reports, differences have emerged between the makers and the actor. According to unconfirmed reports, Johar’s banner Dharma Productions have also decided not to collaborate with the actor in future.
Soon after such news reports emerged, a section of netizens started tweeting to claim that Kartik had been removed from the project because he is not an industry insider’s kid.
Many users compared Kartik’s position with late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who was allegedly a victim of nepotism and groupism. Kartik’s fans also hurled verbal attacks at filmmaker Karan Johar.
“Suddenly negative PR rounding against #KartikAaryan. Unprofessional behaviour blah blah!!! Why there are so much negative article/PR always against outsiders?? Due to this we lost Sushant. #Kangana is battling through And now #KartikAaryan,” tweeted a user.
“The way Kartik remains unbothered by all the chaos created by that filthy jerk man and his minions and is still being professional by minding his own business is what we call grace that most of them lack. Keep shinning @TheAaryanKartik #KartikAaryan,” wrote another user.
“Those who say #KartikAaryan is unprofessional are biggest clown. He is one of the most talented, Hard working, Determined and focused person in this film Industry,” said another. (IANS)
