After Dostana 2 Kartik Removed from Kjo Next Movie - Page 16

And this is how rumors against SSR also went.

KJo gave hints, and social media took it up.

It is the same pattern. Rumors of meddling and unprofessional behavior and skirt chasing. Nothing concrete which could get Dharma sued for libel. Include script meddling, too, this time around.

Plant enough such gossip so other producers will be wary.

To top it off, Karthik is not a great actor.

Final step: boot him from the social cliques.

Public can recognize the tactic. So KJo knows he will be attacked. So if he has something concrete, why not come out and say it? Why again hide behind rumors?

This whole episode stinks.

Wait a minute. KJo gave hints about SSR ? Where, when? He rarely even spoke about SSR, let alone giving hints.

I can’t believe I am over here defending kartik because after what happened last year I don’t like this guy at all, on the hate side. But all I am saying is if other nepo have pushed dates for years and years, they have shown rude and unprofessional attitude towards others so why is it okay if nepo kids do it and not okay if he does it? I think they are all wrong for wasting producers money.

I don't like his films, either. Misogynistic trash, most of it. Nor is he a good actor.

But he did it make it this far on his own, which should be appreciated.

And most people don't like the idea of someone with resources beating up on the little guy.

Unless Dharma comes out and says what it was, it is going to look, sound, and smell suspicious

The gossip in mags about Drive and his behavior didn't appear without sources. KJo and gang have acknowledged planting rumors on that silly show.

Then the metoo allegations after Dhoni, Chichore, and Sonchiriya.

But of course, we can choose to believe it was planted by someone entirely unconnected.

I wish to see Kjo and his nepo gang be banned and be on the receiving end for once.

Am quite willing to believe Karthik behaved unprofessionally, didn't show up to shoots, muddled in script, etc.

I actually like KJo and do not like Karthik's movies.

But when you see same pattern repeated, you start to have doubts.

Let us see. Maybe Dharma will put out a more detailed statement.

How sure are you that they were all just rumors? The way that Sanjana girl dealt with the whole thing, I still have this unsettling feeling about it. He is gone so we should let the bygones be bygones I guess.

But dumping every single evil thing that goes around in the industry on KJo whether you have the proof or not, isn’t it unfair?

In this case it's Janhvi he was dating and who was his co star in the stalled film.

Who's pushing dates for years in the middle of making a film while lying about why you have no dates and then giving it to a new movie?

As for treating insiders better. KJo (and Karan Maholtra) pushed Hrithik (an actor who gave him a Super Hit with Agneepath and who is supposedly a long time friend) out of Shruddhi while he was recuperating from brain surgery because his recovery and finishing Bang Bang would push back the start date by about 6 months.

BTW, that film never getting made is what I consider karma. 😎

Saying 'we are maintaining a dignified silence', is the complete opposite of actually maintaining a dignified silence. It reveals that you are parting on bitter terms, and that you clearly have issues with the other party. It actively situates the 'other party' as being in the wrong.

It was in the public domain for a long time that Kartik wasn't giving dates to Dostana. Something like that can't be hidden. It was obvious he was signing new movies and shooting them but Dostana was stuck since 2019.

Nobody takes losses in crores in order to sabotage someone else. KJo already has monetary problems that he would be doing this on purpose just to mess with Kartik. Sooryavanshi has been in the cans for more than a year and the interest on those loans is rising everyday. Bhramastra is an ongoing disaster where 300 crores has already been spent with no end in sight. He's had to shelve Takht due to the pandemic. The last thing he needed was another big problem like Dostana.

He also knows that he will be blamed regardless of what the truth is because he's seen as the nepo king and Kartik is the innocent little outsider. He was blamed even for Sushant when he barely had anything to do with him. So for him to take that risk and still toss out Kartik says something went really wrong.
