Why Kartik Aaryan Wants Rs 100 Crores!
GLOBAL MOVIE MAGAZINE
|June 2022
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.

Alia Bhatt calls saree India's little black dress; says she feels most comfortable and herself in the traditional drape
In an interview, Alia Bhatt called sarees the Indian version of the little black dress, highlighting their comfort and versatility, and her love for it. Alia Bhatt, like every other Indian, is obsessed with sarees. If you are of desi origins, at least once in your lifetime, or even multiple times, you would have raided your mother or grandmother's closet to steal one of their sarees to wear to an event or a festival. That is the rage of sarees in India. In a recent interview with Vogue, Alia highlighted this fact and characterised the traditional Indian saree as a versatile garment comparable to the western 'little black dress (LBD)' due to its comfort and adaptability. Let's find out what she said.
