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.

Kartik Aaryan opts out of Vasan Bala's Phantom

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."
