Apparently, Kartik Aaryan sidelined the role due to work commitments for an upcoming film with Luv Ranjan and post that he couldn’t make out a time to devote for the Gustakhiyan. Although we can take this reason to be genuine, as so far Kartik Aaryan ’s career trajectory hasn’t been lifted off properly, considering the fact Guest Iin London pretty much bombed at the box office. And also, the fact his equation with Luv Ranjan been successful so far!

As for Gustakhiyan, it is a real-life love story based on the life of legendary saints Sahir Ludhianvi and Amrita Pritam, who fell in love despite being committed to their life partners. Indeed, a love triangle, but we trust Sanjay Leela Bhansali ’s perception, it would be poetic and colorful rendition of the story. Apparently, Kartik Aaryan was offered the role of Amrita Pritam’s husband, that he refused! Now, filmmakers of Gustakhiyan have to put double efforts to hunt for leading lady and her husband! BollywoodMDB will surely keep you updated on Gustakhiyan!
