'Baseless rumours': Aanand L Rai's team on speculation over Kartik Aaryan's exit from their film

As reports of Kartik Aaryan being dropped from filmmaker Aanand L Rai's upcoming production venture surfaced online on Monday, production banner Colour Yellow Productions in a statement said the team is still in talks with the actor for a movie project.

Aaryan has lately been in the news for his exit from Karan Johar-produced Dostana 2 and is reportedly no longer a part of Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming home production, titled Freddie.

Various media reports on Monday claimed that the 30-year-old actor has now lost Rai's gangster drama film to Ayushmann Khurrana.

Calling the stories "baseless", the production house said they are in talks with both Aaryan and Khurrana for different projects.

"These are baseless rumours. We’ve met Kartik for a different film and we’re still talking. We’ve taken another film altogether to Ayushmann and this is a complete mix up," spokesperson for Colour Yellow Productions said.

Last month, Johar's Dharma productions had announced that they will be recasting Dostana 2, amidst reports of Aaryan being ousted from the film due to differences with the makers.

"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 from Dharma read.

The film also features Janhvi Kapoor and newcomer Lakshya, who has previously worked on few TV shows.

Over the weekend, reports surfaced that the Luka Chuppi actor is having creative differences with Freddie director Ajay Bahl.

Aaryan, however, has not issued any statement regarding his exit from the big banner projects.

He is awaiting the release of his next titled Dhamaka, directed by Ram Madhvani.

The thriller, backed by Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Films, along with Madhvani and his wife Amita Madhvani, will release on Netlfix.

He also has Anees Bazmee-directed Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, the shooting of which came to a halt amid the second wave of coronavirus pandemic in India.

Udaan to AK vs AK, Vikramaditya Motwane’s decade-long genre-hopping filmography is commendable

Director Vikramaditya Motwane’s earliest memory of being on a set is from the 80s when his mother Dipa De Motwane worked as a production manager. It was an ad for Nycil that was being directed by the legendary Shukla Das. “My sister and I had gone and I remember there was a stage where some kids were doing a play and there was a paper dragon,” the 44-year-old had shared in a previous interview to me. But it was much later when he turned 17 that Motwane began to enjoy being on a set. “I used to be very bored initially. Then my mother roped in my friends and I to help on a television chat show called Teen Talk. That’s when I realised that it was the best thing ever.” Since those heady days of being a production assistant, Motwane has gone on to explore many genres as a director. His debut film Udaan (2010) was the first Indian film in seven years to be an official selection at Cannes. The coming-of-age film, starring Rajat Barmecha and Ronit Roy, is a deeply affecting story of a mother...

Vivarium movie review: Imogen Poots, Jesse Eisenberg are trapped in an endless suburban nightmare

Language: English The thriller genre has always had a cultural appreciation for suburbia. Though the suburbs were designed to make families feel safe and secure, the isolation and homogeneity have always made it a perfect setting for strange, sinister occurrences to unfold. So, filmmakers have often looked to capture the devilish underbelly hiding behind the tree-lined streets, white picket fences and cookie-cutter houses. Lorcan Finnegan’s Vivarium , which premiered at Cannes 2019 as part of the Critics' Week sidebar, turns suburbia into a Kafkaesque nightmare. Taking existential cues from Black Mirror and its spiritual predecessor The Twilight Zone , the Irish filmmaker delivers a bracingly original, thought-provoking sci-fi thriller. The film opens with a shot of a cuckoo bird pushing another bird's newborn chicks out of the nest, in an attempt to trick the host bird to raise its offspring. A young girl finds one of the dead newborn chicks lying on the ground outside h...
