RUMOURS SQUASHED OF KARTIK BEING DROPPED FROM RAI’S FILM

NEW DELHI: Official spokesperson for ace director Anand L. Rai’s Colour Yellow Productions has issued a statement denying all the rumours of actor Kartik Aaryan being dropped from the filmmaker’s upcoming project. After losing Karan Johar’s ‘Dostana 2’, there have been rumours doing the rounds that Kartik has been dropped from the film ‘Freddy’ and Anand’s upcoming project too. However, putting an end to all the rumours, the spokesperson issued a statement on Monday that read, “These are baseless rumours.

We’ve met Kartik for a different film and we’re still talking. We’ve taken another film altogether to Ayushmann and this is a complete mix-up.” In Dharma Production’s ‘Dostana 2’, Kartik had to play the lead with Janhvi Kapoor. As per official reports, some sequences were shot with him in around 20 days of the shoot. Later, Kartik demanded some changes be made in the film, and due to mutual disagreements, the makers dropped the actor from the project. They further issued a statement that read, “Due to professional circumstances, on which we have decided to maintain a dignified silence, we will be recasting Dostana 2.” Another rumour sparked last week that Kartik has been dropped from the film ‘Freddy’ which will be directed by ‘BA Pass’ director Ajay Bahl under the Red Chillies Entertainment banner.

To this, neither Kartik nor any official spokesperson from Red Chillies has responded.
