Kartik Aaryan replaces Salman Khan as Sooraj Barjatya’s new ‘Prem’ in “Prem Ki Shaadi”

Kartik Aaryan replaces Salman Khan as Sooraj Barjatya’s new ‘Prem’ in “Prem Ki Shaadi”

Barjatya had had earlier made an announcement of reuniting with Salman with the film ‘Prem Ki Shaadi’, but was shelved subsequently as the actor wasn’t too keen on doing a romantic film.

As Kartik Aaryan is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Chandu Champion, he seems to also be busy reading scripts and discussing new projects with filmmakers. And if reports are to be believed, the actor, who has been on a roll for the past couple of years, might have just signed his first Sooraj Barjatya film.

It turned out to be Salman’s loss and Kartik’s gain. But, the makers haven’t confirmed if the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 actor will star in Prem Ki Shaadi or whether he has signed an entirely new film.

The report stated that the project is still in talks, and Barjatya feels Kartik has it in him to be the new-age Prem, as he wants his hero to have an innocence on screen. The film is reportedly set against the backdrop of nuclear families in the modern days.

The actor is expected to sign the dotted lines after the release of Chandu Champion, which is scheduled to hit the silver screens on June 14.

Apart from Chandu Champion, Kartik also has a few more projects in the pipeline, including Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Aashiqui 3, Captain India, and others.
