Kartik Aaryan says he had ‘self-belief’ after being ousted from Dostana 2; knew Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 would work well

Actor Kartik Aaryan and filmmaker Karan Johar’s fallout was widely reported when the former was ousted from Dostana 2 for professional reasons. But, the actor says that he had self-belief while many doubted his potential and even that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 may not work.

When asked whether the fallout affected him, the actor interrupted and said, “Yes, but I had a lot of self-belief. I said to myself that I would let my work do the talking,” he told E-Times in an interview. He dded, “I knew that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 would open the theatres wide. I decided to promote Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 maximum. There were constraints on the budget due to COVID days then, but I went ahead.”

“It was being widely said that I won’t be able to do Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 well enough. Here, I was being directly doubted. In my heart of hearts, however, I knew that this movie will work and bring the public back to the theatres and I had told this to Kumar Mangat. I knew that I would be able to do it in my way and take this film to a high level,” he shared.

Last year, rumours were rife about Kartik’s ‘unprofessional’ behaviour. At the time, Dharma Productions released an official statement saying they won’t be working with Kartik Aaryan and that they would announce the new cast. “Due to professional circumstances, on which we have decided to maintain a dignified silence – we will be recasting Dostana 2, directed by Collin D’Cunha. Please wait for the official announcement soon,” it read.

In the same interview, when asked if he has a list of filmmakers he wants to work with, Kartik added, “Haan, har koi chahta hai ki aap sirf unke liye maximum kam kare. But I want to be everyone’s favourite. See, I cannot do small talk. I cannot please people by doing chit-chats. I don’t have anybody in my list whom I don’t want to work with. Kisiko aisa lagna bhi nahi chahiye kyunki aisa hai hi nahi. Abhi saamne kisiko kaisa bhi feel ho ya na ho. Luv Ranjan sir has done 4 movies with me, Sajid Nadiadwala sir has done 2, makers are repeating me. I am in happy space.”

Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan was most recently seen in Freddy which released on Disney+ Hotstar. He will next star in Shehzada with Kriti Sanon.
