Kartik Aaryan Angry Over Sreeleela Dropped for Ananya?

Social media chatter says this is a rough phase for Kartik Aaryan and his PR team. His film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is facing clear rejection at theatres. In four days, it earned Rs 23 crore.

That number looks weak when compared to Dhurandhar, which collected the same amount in a single day on its fourth Sunday. You can see the shift in audience taste clearly through these box office numbers.

Right now, you are showing strong interest in nationalistic films like Dhurandhar and Chhaava. Serious romantic-musicals such as Saiyaara and Tere Ishk Mein are also working better than light rom-coms.

The makers of TMMTMTTM chose a loose-ended rom-com and released it alongside big films like Dhurandhar and Avatar: Fire and Ash. That decision left the film struggling to find space and attention.

Gossip says Kartik Aaryan felt frustrated during the shoot and appeared uncomfortable working with Ananya Panday. Reports also claim he disliked the direction the film was taking.

The edition of Dharma Productions at the last moment changed the story completely. What began as a desi-rooted film shifted to an international setting due to Karan Johar’s westernised approach.

Rumours say Johar pushed for Ananya Panday, while the makers earlier considered Sharvari or Sreeleela. These changes reportedly hurt the film badly. The strained equation between Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar now seems under pressure again.
