Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan's alleged rift

In 2021, Karan Johar cast Kartik Aaryan in Dostana 2, the sequel to the 2008 film. However, KJo's production banner, Dharma Productions, announced its recasting, citing "professional circumstances" in its statement back then.

The news fueled speculations about Kartik walking out of the project owing to creative differences with the filmmaker. 

In a recent interview with Lallantop, Kartik Aaryan opened up about his alleged rift with Karan Johar. Calling the incident quite old, Kartik said that often there is a miscommunication and things are blown out of proportion.

The Chandu Champion actor further said that he focuses on his work and stays calm during such controversies. "I don’t get involved a lot in them and I don’t have to prove anything to anyone by getting involved," he shared.
