Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has once again trained her guns at filmmaker Karan Johar after the latter's Dharma Productions announced a recasting of Dostana 2, dropping young Hindi film star Kartik Aaryan.

Kartik, Janhvi Kapoor and debutant Lakshya had already shot a few portions of the film and they were due to resume shooting later this month. But rumours are there that Kartik had a rift with the makers, leading to the recasting decision.

"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," Dharma Productions has said in a statement.

Supporting Kartik, Kangana, who takes on the alleged nepotism in the film industry, tweeted, "Kartik has come this far on his own, on his own he will continue to do so, only request to papa jo and his nepo gang club is please leave him alone like Shushant don’t go after him and force him to hang himself. Leave him alone you vultures, get lost chindi nepos..."

"Kartik no need to be scared of these chillars.... after doing nasty articles and releasing announcements blaming only your attitude for fall out this moron wants to maintain dignified silence. They spread the same stories of drug addiction and unprofessional behaviour for SSR also," she added.

"Know that we are with you, the one who did not make you can’t break you either,today you must be feeling lonely and targeted from all corners. No need to feel so, everyone knows this drama queen JO, you will do very well dear, trust your instincts and be disciplined. much love," the 'Queen' actor, who had called Karan "the flagbearer of nepotism, said.
