The
speculations
regarding
Kartik
Aaryan's
exit
from
Dostana
2
have
been
doing
rounds
from
earlier
today.
Kartik
Aaryan
has
been
trending
in
social
media
platforms
since
then,
and
the
netizens
were
bashing
Karan
Johar
and
Dharma
Productions
for
'firing'
the
actor
from
the
project.
However,
Dharma
Productions
have
now
put
an
end
to
the
rumours
surrounding
Dostana
2.
The
production
banner
released
an
official
statement
through
the
social
media
pages
of
the
banner
and
confirmed
that
Kartik
Aaryan
is
no
longer
a
part
of
Dostana
2.
The
makers
have
confirmed
that
the
project
is
getting
recast,
and
an
official
announcement
is
on
the
way.
Read
Dharma
Productions'
statement
here:
"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.
Please
wait
for
the
official
announcement
soon."
As
reported
earlier,
the
rumourmills
suggest
that
Kartik
Aaryan
was
ousted
from
Dostana
2
owing
to
his
'unprofessional
behaviour.'
According
to
the
grapevine,
Dharma
Productions
has
not
only
sacked
the
actor
from
the
second
installment
of
the
popular
franchise
but
also
vowed
to
not
work
with
him
again.
However,
Kartik
Aaryan
has
not
reacted
to
the
reports
or
the
statement
issued
by
the
production
house,
yet.
Coming
to
Dostana
2,
the
highly
anticipated
project
is
a
sequel
to
the
2008-released
blockbuster
movie.
The
project,
which
was
announced
back
in
October
2019,
initially
had
Kartik
Aaryan,
Jahvi
Kapoor,
and
newcomer
Lakshya
in
the
lead
roles.
If
the
latest
reports
are
to
be
believed,
talented
actors
Rajkummar
Rao
and
Vicky
Kaushal
have
been
considered
to
replace
Kartik
in
the
Karan
Johar
production.
