Karthik Aryan was last seen in the third instalment of one of the most celebrated Hindi horror-comedy franchises, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa‘, and the actor received a lot of love for his performance in the movie. Now, producer Sandeep Singhwho claims to be an old friend of Kartik, has alleged that the actor does not answer the producer’s calls these days. He further stated that he introduced the actor to the producers in the industry, including Ramesh Taurani and Bhushan Kumar.
During an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Sandeep revealed that he and Kartik spent years together travelling, drinking, and eating, but the moment Kartik became a big star in the industry, he stopped answering his calls. “Woh phone pe baat bhi nahi karta, reply bhi nahi karta, You Know who is that? Kartik Aaryan” he stated. He mentioned that he wanted to take suggestions from him, but Kartik never responded.
The producer shared that he used to give him advice along the way. Sandeep was the one who first introduced Kartik to Bhushan and Ramesh. He encouraged the actor to be patient, guiding him on what steps to take and which ones to avoid. Sandeep also recalled sending Kartik one final text, which said, “When a balloon inflates, it forgets what it was before.” (Gubbara jab phool jata hai, pehle kya tha bhool jata hai.)” Sandeep emphasised that before becoming successful, Kartik used to be around him, but after becoming a star, he changed: “Safalta ke baad, phone number toh wahi raha, woh the clouds themselves spread,” he revealed.
Earlier, Sandeep shared that he had sent Kartik to promote the trailer of his movie Safed, but he never acknowledged the gesture. Sandeep had hoped Kartik would want to collaborate with him once he became a star. However, he criticised the Chandu Champion actor for becoming controlling and mentioned that although he is a nice person, success seems to have impacted his personality.
