Kartik Aaryan out of Aanand L Rai’s gangster drama replaced by Ayushman

Kartik Aaryan was spotted outside Aanand L Rai’s Mumbai office in February . it was then speculated that he will be collaborating with the director for his upcoming gangster drama. But it is now reported that he is not in the film any longer and has been replaced by Ayushmann Khurana.

Kartik most recently lost Dostana 2 helmed by Karan Johar due to some unknown reasons. While that created a lot of stir, the actor also lost Red Chillies Entertainment’s Freddie reportedly due to creative differences. And now it has been speculated that the actor has lost the third project of Aanand K Rai. Seemingly he has been in the eye of storm.

A source close to the director’s assistant said, “Kartik was in advanced-level talks with Aanand, and had read the script and heard the narration, too. But, before he could sign on the dotted line, things fell apart.”
