The story
Actor Aniruddha Jatkar, who played the role of Aryavardhan, on Zee Kannada’s serial ‘Jothe Jotheyali’ was kicked out of the show due to his behavior. Sources from the team said that the attitude of the actor was not respectful to any crew member. He argued with the director and producer of the show. Moreover, a source said that the terms and conditions of the contract signed were not followed.
Few suggested that the increasing TRP of Jothe Jotheyali and the ever-increasing fan following of Aniruddha Jatkar were among the reasons behind his discourteous attitude. In the upcoming episodes of Jothe Jotheyali, the director has decided to cut the role of Aryavardhan.
It is now assumed that the makers of the Kannada serial are in talks with Vikrant Rona director Anup Bhandari for the role of Aryavardhan. However, the 40-year-old is yet to make a call on this proposal. After a rift with Aniruddha Jatkar, a source said that the producer and director were looking for a new face to play the role of Aryavardhan.
