Why Kartik Aaryan Wants Rs 100 Crores!

Kartik Aaryan is becoming one of the most sought-after actors in Bollywood.

Most of his films have managed to steal the audience's heart and propel his career in the right direction.

After winning raves for his last release, Dhamaka, which premiered on Netflix, the actor is now waiting for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 to hit the screen.

Kartik, who has mostly been seen in romcoms, tells why he chose a horror comedy. It's not like I am deliberately trying to break my image. It's about the script. If I like the script or the makers, want to work with them... Fans are not really attached to the genre; they are attached to the actor.

What was your first reaction when the makers approached you to star in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2?

It gave me the opportunity to explore the horror-comedy genre for the first time so I was really excited.

I listened to the story first and the title was revealed to me at a later stage. They had gone the other way round.

I was excited when I heard the story but when the title was revealed to me, I was even more excited.

It seemed like a great sequel to Bhool Bhulaiyaa.

The film has a new story and new characters but the world is similar.

I was really excited when I donned the costume of the baba. It was black, so I felt like a superhero!

You are an engineering student. Science and the supernatural don't go hand in hand. Didn't you feel weird working on this film?

That was way before. I have forgotten everything (laughs).

I didn't think much about it. I was just going with the flow and the film made sense to me.

Anees (Bazmee, Director) Sir has portrayed all the jokes and elements of the film, be it comical or horror, on a largerthan-life scale.

Automatically, you are sucked into that world.

Success and fame come packaged with criticism. How are you handling it?

I don't care.

I was the same right from the start and I am the same even now.
