Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut, who has been constantly targeting filmmaker Karan Johar in the nepotism debate, took to Twitter on Friday to support Kartik Aaryan after Dharma Productions issued an official statement confirming that he was being replaced in ‘Dostana 2’. 

Since Friday morning, reports were doing rounds that Kartik was being dropped from the movie due to his “unprofessional behaviour.” Reports stated that Dharma Productions has not only replaced the actor from the movie but has also decided to never work with him again.

On Friday evening, the production house issued a statement confirming that they will be recasting ‘Dostana 2’.

“Due to professional circumstances, on which we have decided to maintain a dignified silence – we will be recasting Dostana 2, directed by Collin D’Cunha. Please wait for the official announcement soon,” the statement read.

Following the confirmation, Kangana took to Twitter to support the actor and target “the nepo gang.” 

“Kartik has come this far on his own, on his own he will continue to do so, only request to papa jo and his nepo gang club is please leave him alone like Shushant don’t go after him and force him to hang himself. Leave him alone you vultures, get lost chindi nepo,” she wrote.

“Kartik no need to be scared of these chillars…. after doing nasty articles and releasing announcements blaming only your attitude for fall out this moron wants to maintain dignified silence. They spread same stories of drug addiction and unprofessional behaviour for SSR also,” she added.

Kangana asked the actor to “trust his instincts” and “be disciplined.”

Kartik is yet to comment on the issue.
