Eventually, Kartik’s fate changed with the release of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety in 2018. It turned him into a household name, and people started addressing the actor by his name.
Recalling the first time he felt the change, the actor said, “Mujhe yaad mein Gaiety ko gaya that, Friday ke baad Sunday ko gaya tha and again woh Housefull tha. So, udhaar log pehli baar mujhe Kartik naam se chilla rahe the, mere naam ko pehle baar le rahe the.” (I remember when I went to the Gaiety cinema, people shouted and chanted my name for the first time.)
Delving more into the film’s impact, Kartik shared that since the title announcement of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, a different vibe for the film was established among the audiences. The versatile actor recalled how several people approached him and questioned the title, mentioning how weird it was. Moreover, the concept of bromance instead of romance was new for the audiences, which worked.
The film changed his career trajectory and brought him into the limelight. But, again, he got a lot of offers for comedy films after its release, and it took him a couple of films like Freddy and Dhamaka to prove his mettle as a diverse actor.
On the professional front, Kartik Aaryan’s next film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, will be released on November 1, 2024, and its trailer has already sent social media into a frenzy.
