Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan have had a bit of a rocky relationship ever since the whole Dostana 2 situation blew up. Now, it seems their tension has turned into a rap battle.

Karan Johar throws a subtle jab at Kartik Aaryan

At a recent awards show, Karan Johar threw some playful shade at Kartik Aaryan during their rap battle, saying, "Look at today’s heroes stealing their franchises!" He was clearly talking about Kartik stepping into the lead role of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa series, which was originally headlined by Akshay Kumar.

Karan Johar's perspective on nepotism

You're the new student in the evergreen faculty, so let me show you what real royalty looks like. The Khans and Kapoors are still the original legends," Karan mentioned before diving into the topic of Kartik taking over the franchise. This is clearly a nod to Kangana Ranaut calling him the 'flagbearer of nepotism'.

Kartik Aaryan shares his experience with the Bhool Bhulaiyaa journey

The actor admitted that his path to Bhool Bhulaiyaa has been more challenging than smooth. He remembers how many doubted his ability to portray Rooh Baba, a role famously played by Kumar in the original film. As time went on, Kartik also joined the cast of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The film faced tough competition from Rohit Shetty's Singham Again, leading to doubts about its success at the Box Office upon release. But now, we have the final verdict.
