Kartik Aaryan and Bhushan Kumar have a fallout? 'Luka Chuppi' star clears the air
Kartik Aaryan has responded to the rumour that he had a fallout with producer Bhushan Kumar. Reports had claimed that Kartik was ousted from Om Raut's movie.
Kartik Aaryan, last seen in Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal, on Tuesday, cleared the air regarding rumors of his fallout with producer Bhushan Kumar in a hilarious tweet. As per a media report, Aaryan had supposedly been shown the door from Om Raut's forthcoming film, which is being bankrolled by T-Series.
The report claimed that Kartik Aaryan refused to shoot for the movie until a COVID-19 vaccine became available in the market, which had allegedly left T-series head honcho Bhushan Kumar miffed. However, in a tongue-in-cheek tweet, both Kartik and Bhushan Kumar refuted the news of any fallout between them.
No fallout between Kartik and Bhushan?
Further, the media report had claimed that Kartik Aaryan and Bhushan Kumar had a verbal argument. According to a media portal's close source, Bhushan Kumar had put the Om Raut-directorial on hold and was currently looking for Kartik Aaryan's replacement. However, contrary to the rumours, all is seemingly well between the actor-producer duo as Kumar took to his Twitter account to post a picture of the two of them smiling while getting in a car, with the caption stating "Fallout?" The post was retweeted by the 'Luka Chuppi' actor who added laughing emojis in his caption.
