A quiet rivalry may be brewing between two of Bollywood’s popular actors, Kartik Aaryan and Ayushmann Khurrana.
A few industry whispers are also suggesting that their equation is not as smooth as it appears from the outside.
The buzz started around the release of Pati Patni Aur Woh’s sequel, which featured Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead role.
While the film eventually found appreciation from audiences, reports suggest that tensions between Kartik and Ayushmann may have surfaced during the film’s release period.
According to industry chatter, one of the major reasons behind the alleged cold vibes between the two actors was a comparison campaign that was reportedly driven by Kartik Aaryan’s PR team.
Several social media posts and entertainment pages began drawing comparisons between the two stars.
They specifically focused on the film’s initial box office performance and suggested that Kartik had a stronger theatrical pull than Ayushmann Khurrana.
Those who closely followed the film’s release would have noticed the wave of online discussions comparing the two actors.
The narrative appeared to gain traction during the early days, though it eventually faded as Ayushmann’s film received stronger appreciation through audience reactions.
Adding more curiosity to the situation, Kartik Aaryan did attend a special screening of Pati Patni Aur Woh held before the official media screening.
The private event was reportedly attended by only a select group of close associates and members of the film’s cast.
However, Kartik did not appear to publicly promote the film or share any major appreciation for the project.
The situation has become even more interesting with reports that both Kartik Aaryan and Ayushmann Khurrana are being considered for an upcoming T-Series project.
If the reports turn out to be true, it will be worth watching how their professional equation develops.
