Kartik Aaryan opts out of Vasan Bala's Phantom

Few weeks ago, Kartik Aaryan had put out a post almost announcing his next project. His post made fans excited as he said he was prepping for something super big. The project happened to be Vasan Bala's next superhero venture.

The sci-fi venture titled Phantom was to be based on the comic superhero character of the same name. While Kartik had verbally agreed to be part of the big budget film, now we hear that he's walked out of that project completely. A source informed Bollywood Hungama, "There were a few things that Kartik didn't agree with. Vasan Bala has his own style of filmmaking and his films are quirky but not commercial. Kartik and he had disagreement in the way they were planning to mount the sci-fi biggie. Kartik was of the opinion that a superhero film, this being his first, had to be made on a huge budget and presented in a more commercial actioner space. But Vasan's idea was to underline it with dark humour and that made it a more niche film."

Eventually, Kartik politely refused the offer due to creative differences and decided to sign something else with the production house. Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP is producing Phantom. "Kartik has now signed the Hansal Mehta directorial that is also being produced by RSVP. It will be his second film with the banner after Dhamaka."

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Anupamaa’s shoots shifted to Gujarat amid the pandemic

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Anupamaa are two of the most-watched shows of the Indian television. With a massive viewership, both the shows were dearly missed during the lockdown last year. As the number of cases have been on an all-time rise due to the second wave, a lot of Indian television show’s shoots have been moved to other states including Goa and Gujarat as Maharashtra faces a lockdown due to the pandemic.

Rajan Shahi, the producer of both the shows will make sure that the shoots go smoothly and the scripts will also see a change as per the location. As for Anupamaa, the family will be seen leaving for a destination engagement and despite the turmoil in their lives, Anupamaa will be seen putting up a happy face. A slightly similar scenario will be seen in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. The show will witness Goenka family leaving for Kartik and Sirat’s engagement that will eventually be gate crashed by Ranveer.

With a change of location, the actors will be taking care of the precautions while being on the sets.
