What was believed to be another film loss for Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan after him choosing to walk out of Dharma productions backed Dostana 2 and Shah Rukh Khan backed project titled Freddie, is actually a case of confusion.
It was speculated that after the loss of Dostana 2 and Freddie, Kartik Aaryan has also been replaced in filmmaker Aanand L Rai's film. Ayushmann Khurrana was said to be roped in to play the lead in the film. However, Kartik is yet to sign any film with Rai.

Confirming to ETimes that Kartik was not signed up by his production house, Aanand L Rai stated, ¡°There was no such film signed by Kartik, all these reports are baseless.¡±
Explaining that a lot of actors drop in to discuss projects but not all are signed, the filmmaker added, ¡°There are so many actors who come to meet me, but that does not mean that he or she has been signed for my film.¡±

The filmmaker¡¯s team has even stated that the production house is still in talks with Kartik. As for Ayushmann, the said film is a completely different one.
¡°These are baseless rumors. 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 spokesperson for Colour Yellow said in a statement.
