Kartik Aaryan loses a Dharma Productions movie for demanding big moolah

When an actor’s last movie set the cash registers jingling at the box-office, he automatically tends to increase his fee for upcoming projects. Kartik Aaryan is not an exception. He did the same after the runaway success of his recent release, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018). However, in his case, the plan backfired and how.

Aaryan is being linked to half a dozen projects these days, one of them being a movie by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. However, the latest buzz in the industry circle is that the actor has missed out on the film for acting pricey.

Reportedly, Aaryan had requested for a price hike which the makers could not digest. A trade analyst reveals, “He thinks he is an A-list star now, and that he should be paid accordingly. Sadly, the producers don’t agree.”

Besides demanding big moolah, there were a couple of other reasons also which led the makers to show the exit doors to the actor. “Dharma (Productions) sent Kartik feelers regarding a possible role, but it was nothing concrete. His team messed it up by releasing reports that the actor had been signed by Karan Johar when no such thing had happened. And if that was not enough, they also leaked the news that he was going to be paired opposite Kareena (Kapoor Khan) when she was actually paired with Akshay (Kumar) in the film.”

Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan will soon start shooting for Dinesh Vijan’s next Luka Chuppi with Kriti Sanon.
