After Anubhav Sinha, Apurva Asrani Calls Out The 'Very Obvious Campaign' Against Kartik Aaryan In Bollywood

The reason behind Kartik Aaryan’s exit from the two biggest films in his kitty in quick succession became a reason of concern for his fans. The actor who is reportedly facing a lifetime ban from Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions after his controversial ouster from Dostana 2 followed by him exiting Shah Rukh Khan produced Freddie has led people to speculate that he is being targeted and bullied.

Kartik who has maintained radio silence on the matter is now seeing support from screenwriter Apurva Asrani. According to him there a ‘very obvious’ campaign against the Pyaar Ka Punchnama actor being carried out. Apurva tweeted out his support for Kartik in reply to filmmaker Anubhav Sinha's tweet who had earlier lauded the actor for maintaining a dignified silence on the matter.

“I respect Anubhav Sinha for calling out the very obvious campaign against #KartikAaryan. A year ago I had blogged about the bullying Sushant Singh Rajput went through. And though I remain blacklisted for it by many journalists, I feel like something IS changing for the better,” Apurva wrote in his tweet.

Anubhav Sinha had earlier said that producers and actors often part ways in Bollywood but do it in respectful silence and called the campaign against Kartik ‘bloody unfair’.

The Thappad filmmaker wrote in a tweet on Thursday, “And by the way... when Producers drop Actors or vice versa they don't talk about it. It happens all the time. This campaign against Kartik Aryarn seems concerted to me and very bloody unfair. I respect his quiet.”
