As part of his promotional activities, Kartik recently engaged in a rapid-fire round during an interview with Mumbai Times, offering insights into his preferences and upcoming projects.Among the intriguing questions posed to him, one centered on choosing his favorite co-star between Sara Ali Khan and Kiara Advani, two leading ladies he has previously worked with. The former worked with him in ‘Love Aaj Kal,’ while the latter was seen with him in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaan 2’ and ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha.’ Though Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Love Aaj Kal’ got mixed reviews, it was the on and reportedly off-screen chemistry of Kartik and Sara that caught attention. On the other hand, both his movies with Kiara were well received by the audience. Thus, this question did put Kartik in a pickle; however, the actor’s response was unexpected.
Initially chuckling at the question, he playfully remarked, “You’re trying to get me in a fix. How will I answer this?” Then, surprising everyone, he named Vidya Balan as his favorite co-star. This revelation sparked curiosity, considering Vidya’s upcoming collaboration with Kartik in “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.”
Speaking of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,’ Kartik is set to reunite with director Anees Bazmee for the third installment of the hit franchise. This time, he will share the screen with stalwarts like Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan, and Triptii Dimri. With filming already underway, glimpses from the sets have heightened anticipation for this eagerly awaited project.
Apart from ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,’ Kartik has a busy slate ahead. He is gearing up for the release of Kabir Khan’s ‘Chandu Champion’ and is also confirmed for ‘Aashiqui 3.’ Moreover, exciting news broke recently, revealing Kartik’s discussions with Sooraj Barjatya for a potential role as Prem in the director’s upcoming project.
