Business, business, business…It was all business and nothing personal. Though, where does Jantik come in between all this?
Kartik Aaryan left ‘Dostana 2’ citing creative differences on his own, he was not ousted or fired.
Think about it… This movie has been in the making for so long. Dharma Productions finally managed to lock in a young and fresh cast and they already started shooting the film. If it wasn’t for the pandemic and lockdown last year, the movie would have been completed and released in 2020.
Two things could have happened.
Kartik had a change of heart over the lockdown and decided not to do the film. He came up with “not liking the second part of the film/script” reason and got out of the project. Because it sounds really silly for him to suddenly not agree with the second-half of the film. He has had the script since 2019 and only in 2021 he realizes he doesn’t like it and proceed to put his opinions in front of KJo. It sounds like one of those old-age problems stars used to have and they would use the exact excuse to get out of a project but straight away rush to another one that they thought was better.
Or, KJo was really upset at him for focusing on another new project instead of completing this one. Kartik did sign another film and shot it with various PR articles hyping how fast he shot the film and how much he got paid for it.
Either way, Kartik will be fine. It’s not as if it’s the end of the world. They have been trying to get this film going for years now so…Besides, he has so many other projects on hand, he has nothing to worry about. He might actually be better off without this film, who knows how it might turn out.
At least, he didn’t get fired for not doing his job (acting) properly…Remember this one actress (star kid) who went through that while in the middle of shooting a sportswoman’s biopic!
Funny thing is, in this case, KJo knows how KA is and KA knows how KJo is so whatever happened between them is for the best since these two really know each other. That’s why you see Dharma Productions quickly coming out with clarifications on the allegations out there. This means this is real and someone is playing dirty!
The only one at lost here is Dharma Productions since everything was planned about the film. They even shot some of it, Kartik shot for 20 days. It can’t be someone as business-savvy as KJo would just suddenly fire Kartik from the film just because he felt he didn’t want to work with him. It doesn’t make sense when there’s much money at stake here. Plus, there are other actors also whose dates have already been booked for this project. It affects everyone, especially the actor being launched.
For a clearer view, let’s take a look at the recent timeline that has something to do with this story.
May 2019: KA and JK playing siblings in love with the same man?
June 2019: Final announcement on the main cast.
September 2019: Preparation starts!
November 2020: First schedule wraps up in Punjab
May 2020: KA excited about Dostana 2
December 2020: The Beginning of Jantik
January 2021: The End of Jantik!
That was fast! Probably the shortest fake linkup in Dharma’s history!
January 2021: Meeting with KJo
February 2021: Trouble in Paradise Dharma!
April 2021: KA announced an expensive purchase
Most likely to prove all is good in the hood!
Buying something this expensive at a time like this and calling the paps to show it off during a pandemic and releasing articles on how expensive this item is…are all just insensitive??!
It’s just weird. He just recovered from Covid so he is in a better situation to understand how this virus can affect people. As soon as he gets better, he goes out and buy this expensive car. Not forgetting, letting everyone know that he paid extra to have the car shipped sooner because he couldn’t wait.
For some reason, it was impossible not to guess that something isn’t right! The other day, it made sense when KJo had to come out and refute the rumours of the upcoming Sharan Sharma’s film. Why? Kartik’s name was constantly being linked to the film. It was said he was already set and they were busy casting the heroine.
Now it does seem as if Kartik made that purchase and showed it off to prove that he is doing well and is not affected by whatever happened behind the scenes. Ironically, a top actress did the same thing years ago. She went out and bought a super expensive car just to prove that she can still afford it, as her films were flopping and she wasn’t getting the kind of good roles she used to.
April 2021: Rumours and clarifications
April 2021: Social Media Drama
Lastly…
What an insensitive thing do to: Saying something as horrible as the statement below! And people are still going to lap this up as the truth!
Well, she couldn’t save Bollywood but now she wants to save Kartik Aaryan even though she still can’t spell the late Sushant’s name! But see how convenient it is to cook up some new drama to keep the media busy and people occupied with this at a time when things are going horribly wrong in the country.
Anyways, speaking of ‘Dostana 2’, Abhishek Bachchan waited so long for this film to be made! ‘Dostana’ was his clean hit and he was after its original director Tarun to make the second one. When it did happen, neither the director nor him were featured among the cast and crew.
Are they going to shelve it now or will they just replace Kartik?
P.S. Shoutout to all those who were here long enough to remember an old joke 👇! 😉😉😉
