Hansal Mehta, a filmmaker, had declared that he will soon begin work on a movie starring Kartik Aaryan. However, the initiative has made almost no progress in the months since the announcement. Industry rumours suggest that the makers have completely changed their focus away from the venture. As if that weren’t enough, a rumour has it that the movie was nearly cancelled since Kartik and Hansal were both booked up and had no dates for their combined project.
A source revealed Bollywood Hungama, “Yes, Kartik and Hansal had planned on working together and had announced an untitled venture. However, there have been constant delays with the project, and now it seems like the film has been pushed indefinitely.” Further talking about the delays, the source continues, “Kartik Aaryan has had a stellar 2022, with the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Freddy hitting the mark he has become one of the most sought-after talent today. Besides Katrik already has his hands full with Shehzada and Satyaprem Ki Katha so it is unlikely that he will have time for anything else in the immediate future. Hansal is too busy with Modern Love: Mumbai and has Scam 2023 and a couple of other projects he is working on. So essentially with both director and actor busy the collaboration has been put on hold.”
The insider said, “You cannot claim that the film has been shelved since both Kartik and Hansal are still eager on doing the film, even though he declines to declare that the project has been put on hold. When both parties have a time and a date, they will begin. The movie, however, will be put on hold until then. A source close to the pair confirms the same idea, saying, “No, the film is very much on. Just neither of them has had time to devote to the project.
