Mumbai, June 5, 2021: Actor Kartik Aaryan, who was ousted from Dharma Productions' "Dostana 2", is finally getting support from the industry. A couple of days ago, producer Kumar Mangat Pathak supported that actor by saying that he never demanded changes in the script as is being told in the media reports.

Yesterday, director Anubhav Sinha took to Twitter and called out an alleged campaign going on against Kartik Aaryan. "And by the way... when Producers drop Actors or vice versa they don't talk about it. It happens all the time. This campaign against Kartik Aaryan seems concerted to me and very bloody unfair. I respect his quiet", he wrote.



National Award film editor and screenwriter Apurva Asrani joins Sinha and offers his support to Kartik and also talked about how late actor Sushant Singh Rajput was also 'bullied' in his career.

"I respect Anubhav Sinha for calling out the very obvious campaign against #KartikAaryan. A year ago I had blogged about the bullying Sushant Singh Rajput went through. And though I remain blacklisted for it by many journalists, I feel like something IS changing for the better", Asrani tweeted responding to Sinha's tweet.

Last month, Dharma Productions of Karan Johar had tweeted that their film Dostana 2, which starred Kartik in the lead with Janhvi Kapoor, was being recast. It came after media reports said that Kartik had a disagreement over the script of the film and wanted some changes in it. Dharma said in their statement that the film was being recast due to "professional circumstances".

Apart from Dostana 2, Kartik has also reportadly been dropped from Shah Rukh Khan's production banner Red Chillies Entertainment's "Freddie". However, there is no confirmation from the makers yet, but it is said that the actor has been ousted for similar reasons as Dostana 2.
