Anubhav Sinha supports Kartik Aaryan amid 'concerted, unfair' campaign

Kartik Aaryan has found support from Thappad director Anubhav Sinha following the Dostana 2 controversy which has allegedly cost him a couple of other projects as well.

Hyderabad: Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha's recent tweet about actor Kartik Aaryan has shocked everyone. On Thursday night, Anubhav called out people in the industry for allegedly campaigning against Kartik.

Several rumours were doing the rounds on the internet stating that Kartik had been removed from multiple big Hindi films -- including Dostana 2 and Shah Rukh Khan's production Freddie. There are also speculations that Kartik was ousted from Aanand L Rai's upcoming film. However, Rai's spokesperson immediately issued a statement, describing the rumours as 'baseless'.

"These are baseless rumours. We've met Kartik for a different film and we are still talking. We have taken another film altogether to Ayushmann and this is a complete mix up," the statement read.

Reacting to such reports, Anubhav tweeted, "And by the way... when Producers drop Actors or vice versa they don't talk about it. It happens all the time. This campaign against Kartik Aaryan seems concerted to me and very bloody unfair. I respect his quiet."

A lot of fans came out in support of Kartik after reading Anubhav's tweet.

"First Sushant Singh Rajput was harassed now its Kartik Aaryan. This guy @karanjohar is a big bad shark of bollywood," a Twitter user commented. "When will the harassment of self made up actors stop in Bollywood. Why can't nepotism gang stop bothering them. Why can't we boycott the nepotism gangs," another one tweeted.

Kartik will next be seen in Dhamaka and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
