Departure of Kartik Aaryan from the film 'Dostana 2' has been the topic of gossip for last few days. Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, fired the actor and didn't cite any particular reason for it. Apparently there was a fallout between Kartik and Karan due to the former's "unprofessional" behavior. Although there were lots of speculations about the root cause of the fallout but nothing was certain.

According to latest reports, Bollywood Hungama has unearthed the inside detail about the whole matter. A source told them, "Kartik Aaryan had come on board Dostana 2 in 2019 for a minimal amount of Rs. 2-3 crores, and at present his market value is upside of Rs. 10 crores. At first he asked Karan for a hike in his acting fees mid-way as his market value had gone up big time in the last two years.

The Source further stated, "While Karan believed it was unprofessional on Kartik’s part to renegotiate the remuneration mid-way, he tried to compensate him with another film, Mr. Lele. Kartik also agreed to come on board the said film and was all charged up for a quirky ride. But to his surprise, he found himself replaced all of a sudden by Vicky Kaushal without being notified. Kartik was also upset with Dharma Productions when they gave Shashank Khaitan's Yoddha to Shahid Kapoor. Although Shahid soon quit, they never approached Kartik for the role anyway."
