New Delhi: Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani have reunited for the love drama Satyaprem Ki Katha, originally known as Satyanarayan Ki Katha, following the box office success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. On July 31, the Shershaah actress celebrated her 30th birthday, and the Dhamaka actor debuted the first image and new title of their movie.
The title of the movie, Satyanarayan Ki Katha, which translates to “the story of Satyanarayan,” another name for the Hindu god Vishnu, caused controversy when it was first revealed. The title was then changed in July last year.
“A title of the film is something that emerges organically through the creative process. We have taken a decision to change the title of our recently announced film ‘Satyanarayan ki Katha’ to avoid hurting sentiments, even if that’s purely unintentional. Producers of the film and the creative team also are in complete support of this decision. We will be announcing a new title for our love story in the due course of our journey. Sincerely, Sameer Vidwans,” a statement from the makers of the film read.
Speaking of Kartik and Kiara’s most recent project Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, the love connection between Kartik and Kiara was praised for the horror-comedy, which went on to gross more over Rs 250 crore at international box offices.
