Kartik Aaryan's team DENIES actor's involvement in the Independence Day event in Houston, following FWICE's letter
Kartik Aaryan recently found himself embroiled in a controversy. Reports were doing the rounds that Kartik Aaryan was going to attend an upcoming Independence Day event in Houston , USA, allegedly organised by a Pakistani-owned restaurant. Following these reports, Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issued a letter to the actor urging him to "withdraw" from the event. FWICE cited concerns over national interest, especially following the Pahalgam attack. Breaking the silence on the matter, Kartik Aaryan's team has issued an official statement clarifying that the actor is "not associated with the event". Official statement made by Kartik Aaryan's team denying his involvement "Kartik Aaryan is not associated with this event in any capacity. He has never made an official announcement about participating in it. We have contacted the organisers and requested that all promotional materials featuring his name and image be removed," read the official statement made by Kartik Aaryan's team in the matter, according to ANI. FWICE's letter to Kartik Aaryan "As you are well aware, FWICE has issued a directive for all members and stakeholders of the Indian film industry to completely boycott Pakistartists, technicians, and performers in light of Pakistan 's continued involvement in terror attacks against India, including the recent brutal attack in Pahalgam, where innocent Indian civilians and tourists lost their lives," stated the FWICE letter before further adding, "The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B Ministry) has also issued a similar directive that is very much in force and must be followed strictly by all Indian citizens and performers working in public life." FWICE President BN Tiwari also spoke to the above-stated agency before team Kartik's clarification in the matter. "The show is scheduled for August 15 in Houston, USA, and Kartik Aaryan was named as the chief celebrity guest. The organiser of the show is a Pakistani national. After Operation Sindoor, this is the second such incident. We are doing our best to take a stand of non-cooperation against any artist who supports such events," he said, explaining the concerns.

Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri starer Dhadak 2 struggles at box office, earns ₹3.65 on Day 1
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 2 (ANI): The much-awaited romantic drama 'Dhadak 2,' starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, finally hit theatres this Friday. While the film had generated curiosity for its fresh pairing, its box office performance on Day 1 fell short of expectations. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the sequel to 'Dhadak' earned ₹ 3.65 crore on its first day in India. The film's release clashed with Ajay Devgn's starer 'Son of Sardaar 2.' With two major films hitting theatres on the same day, movie buffs seem to have divided their attention, which could be one reason why the film fell short of expectations. Adding to the pressure was the continued success of Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara at the box office. The romantic drama, which hit theatres earlier on July 18, is still performing strongly. This seems to have affected the Siddhant and Dimri starrer. 'Dhadak 2' is a follow-up to 2018's 'Dhadak' and a remake of filmmaker Mari Selvaraj's 2018 Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. As per Adarsh, the sequel's first-day numbers are below expectations, especially when compared to its first instalment, 'Dhadak,' which starred Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. The film had earned ₹ 8.71 crore on its opening day back then. All eyes are now on the weekend collections to see if the film can pick up pace.
