Priyadarshan: No films with Kartik Aaryan after Hungama 2 fallout

• Priyadarshan stated he won't cast Kartik Aaryan in future comedy films after his refusal to star in Hungama 2.
• Kartik Aaryan, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Sidharth Malhotra had all declined Hungama 2, which eventually starred Meezaan Jaffery.
• The director believes actors refused because they might have considered him an "outdated director" after his five-year break from Hindi cinema.
• Priyadarshan expressed his preference to work with actors who believe in him, rather than "begging" them.
• He is currently working on Hera Pheri 3 with Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal, and considered Varun Dhawan for a future project.
