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. 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.

The insider continued additional, “Meanwhile, Kartik continued giving reasons of the Covid 19 pandemic to not start shoot for Dostana 2, and Karan didn’t push him much either given their relationship. But when he shot for Dhamaka, Karan was upset. They had an indoor meeting where Karan expressed his disappointment.” Kartik was clear he wouldn’t shoot for Dostana 2 until he signed Sharan’s subsequent and apparently instructed Karan, ‘I will shoot for Dostana 2, only after you sign the contract for Sharan Sharma’s subsequent.’ Karan felt there was a complete lack of belief and couldn’t decide to the movie till the script and screenplay have been locked”, the insider continued. Meanwhile, Karan determined to go forward with the shoot of Mr Lele starring Vicky Kaushal and Janhvi Kapoor from April onwards. The second Kartik heard in regards to the growth, he knowledgeable Karan Johar that the one dates accessible for Dostana 2 this 12 months have been from April onwards. As per the insider, Karan understood what Kartik was doing and reprimanded him for that. Karan turned upset with Kartik as Janhvi needed to decide between Dostana 2 and Mr Lele. Post the incident, Karan and Kartik stopped talking with one another. The insider additional mentioned, “Karan felt it was unprofessional on Kartik’s end to arm twist, and this finally led to a big fall out between the two, with things going ugly. Kartik on the other hand felt he was horribly underpaid for the job, as he was definitely the biggest selling point of the film and Karan was not keeping up his promise of a second film. Kartik also developed some issues with Janhvi Kapoor, due to their break up and it all culminated into a big fight, with money, like always coming in the center. All issues might have been resolved, but unprofessionalism took things to a different tangent, and Karan was left with no choice but to oust him from Dostana 2.”
