Was Kartik Aaryan's fallout with Janhvi Kapoor the real reason behind his exit from 'Dostana 2'?

Filmmaker Karan Johar's banner Dharma Production last month announced that actor Kartik Aaryan would no longer star in their upcoming production 'Dostana 2'. While it was being said that Kartik's unprofessional behaviour prompted Karan to remove him from the film, both Kartik and Karan refrained from commenting on the matter. But, now it seems like the real reason behind Kartik's exit from 'Dostana 2' has come to the light. According to a report, Kartik had an ugly fallout with his co-star Janhvi Kapoor and their friendship reportedly ended in January. This incident apparently made Kartik quite uncomfortable on the sets. He reportedly avoided shooting for 'Dostana 2' citing the pandemic and eventually the shoot got delayed. Reports further stated that, Kartik even asked the makers to drop Janhvi from the film and in exchange, was ready to adjust his fees. While an official statement from both Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan is awaited, it remains to be seen if this reason turns out to be true.
