We all know Kartik Aaryan was out from Karan Johar's Dostana 2 but do you know the real reason? Here's a report which throws some light

Last month the news came in that Karan Johar has decided to remove Kartik Aaryan from his film Dostana 2. And not just that Johar has announced that he will never work with Kartik ever.

Dharma Productions had also issued a statement that read as "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.

Both Kartik and Johar have refrained from commenting on Dostana 2 controversy. According to Times Of India, Kartik had an ugly fight with his co-star Janhvi Kapoor, and their friendship reportedly ended in January.

TOI report also mentioned that Kartik and Janhvi's incident made Kartik quite tricky on the sets. Kartik started avoided shooting for Dostana 2, due to the Covid 19 pandemic and eventually, the shoot got delayed.

The TOI report further states that Kartik was genuinely affected by his sudden split with Janhvi that prompted him to walk up to Collin D'Cunha to tell him to scrap the film. It was said, Janhvi and Kartik were not on talking terms during this time (Earlier this year). According to the report, Kartik also asked the filmmakers to drop Janhvi from the film. And in exchange, he was ready to adjust his fees for Dostana 2.

Kartik had already shot 60 per cent of the film, and replacing him would increase the film's budget.

A source told the entertainment portal, Kartik had already shot 60 per cent of the film because he was board in 2019, and replacing him would increase the film's budget. But Karan is ready to reshoots with a new actor. A source close to the production house told to a website that, “the loss is close to Rs 20 crore.”
