The disagreement between Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan made headlines throughout last year. One of the major Bollywood scandals of 2021 involved it. Due to this, Kartik was forced to leave Dostana 2, the 2008 comedy film Dostana with Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, and Priyanka Chopra.
But it now appears like everything between Karan and Kartik is well. The recently released trailer for Kartik’s next flick Shehzada has received open acclaim from the director and producer. The movie’s trailer was published by Karan on his Instagram story along with the message, “MASAALE SE BHARPOOR AUR ENTERTAINMENT KA ZABARDAST TADKA! TEAM SHEHZADA DESERVES OUR CONGRATULATIONS (followed by three blast emojis).” However, Kartik was not mentioned by the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai director in his message.
After the fallout with Karan, Kartik’s first film was Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. The actor revealed that many people had doubted his ability prior to the film’s release in an interview with E Times conducted last month, after enjoying the success of the picture.
He had said, “It was being widely said that I won’t be able to do Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 well enough. Here, I was being directly doubted. In my heart of hearts, however, I knew that this movie will work and bring the public back to the theatres and I had told this to (producer) Kumar Mangat. I knew that I would be able to do it in my way and take this film to a high level.”
Shehzada, a movie directed by Rohit Dhawan and starring Kriti Sanon, will be shown in theatres on February 10.
