Some time ago, the rift between filmmaker-producer Karan Johar and actor Kartik Aryan came into limelight when their debut film Dostana 2 was shelved. However, with time, as Kartik has gained immense popularity and established himself as a bankable star, relations between the two have improved. They recently hosted an award ceremony together, and Kartik is gearing up for the release of his next film, which is backed by none other than Karan.

Amidst all this, in a recent conversation with Curly Tales, Karan called Kartik “a marketing genius”. He said, “Karthik Aryan is a marketing genius.

He has a great marketing mind. He has built his own brand so cleverly, very brilliantly, very strategically.

” In the same conversation, when asked what other business-related professions might be suitable for showbiz stars, Karan gave Shah Rukh the title of finance guru, saying: “Shah Rukh Khan, he has great intelligence along with money. “.
