Kartik Aaryan Dropped From Dharma Productions' Dostana 2: Sources

Sources say that the producers had to take this decision because Kartik Aaryan has been acting difficult with the makers

Dharma Productions' Dostana 2 has been in the headlines since its announcement. The film is being helmed by director Collin D'Cunha. Karan Johar had announced in 2019 that Kartik Aaryan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Lakshya will star in this film. Now sources tell NDTV that the lead star of the film, Kartik Aaryan, has been dropped and he won't be a part of this film anymore. Sources say that the producers had to take this decision because Kartik Aaryan has been acting difficult with the makers. The film is already half shot and now it's going to be a challenge for the makers to reshoot it with a new actor who fits the part. "Yes, it's true that this project won't have Kartik Aaryan anymore. I can't tell you all the reasons but yes, it's not been a pleasant experience so far, that's all I can say. It has never happened in the history of Dharma Productions that an actor who has shot a film has been dropped," a source at the production house told NDTV. This means a huge monetary loss for Dharma Productions as they have to reshoot half a film all over again and also cover-up on the lost time. Sometime back, there were also rumours of Kartik and Janhvi Kapoor's break, which could have played a role in this huge professional debacle. The original film titled Dostana that released in 2008 starred Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan in lead roles.
