Now that Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior director Om Raut has announced his next, Adipurush, starring Prabhas, it is clear that his film with Kartik Aaryan is not happening.

He has reportedly said that he wants to marry someone like her. The two often exchange funny banter on social media. But the makers could not cater to Aaryan's demand. Later, the pandemic broke out and things came to a halt. Raut's film with Prabhas goes on the floors next year. So when will Aaryan's project roll? Your guess is as good as ours.
