For those unversed, last year, Kartik had been dropped from Karan Johar's 'Dostana 2'. The production house, in their official statement posted on Instagram, simply stated that "due to professional circumstances, on which we have decided to maintain dignified silence- we will be recasting Dostana 2, directed by Collin D'Cunha. Please wait for the official announcement soon."
'Dostana 2' was announced back in 2019 by Karan and starred Janhvi Kapoor in the lead role with newbie Laksh Lalwani, along with Kartik.
There were other unconfirmed reports that he had lost out on another big project.
Recently, there were reports that Kartik threatened to walk out of his upcoming film 'Shehzada' after the producers of 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' decided to release its Hindi version in theatres. 'Shehzada' is the official remake of the Telugu film. Reports said Kartik was worried about the box office prospects of his film being hurt by the original's re-release.
Due to these issues, Kartik's fans had claimed that the actor was being targetted by certain influential people within the film industry.
Meanwhile, the actor will next be seen in films like 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2', 'Freddy' and 'Shehzada' among other films.
