For two years, we’ve got been listening to of the obvious demise of Kartik Aaryan’s profession. His fallout with arguably the most important manufacturing home of the nation began these rumours and folks’s free time within the lockdowns galvanised it. And but, as he turns a yr older on November 22, there isn’t a actor in Hindi cinema in the present day with a extra numerous and promising lineup of movies than Kartik (save maybe, Shah Rukh Khan however you possibly can’t critically evaluate these two). Simply put, among the many newer technology of lead actors, Kartik is maybe finest positioned to entertain viewers and rule the roost on the field workplace over the following 12 months, and if all goes effectively, past.

On his birthday, November 22, Kartik dropped the teaser/first look of his upcoming movie Shehzada. That is particular as a result of it marks the primary time he’ll seem in an out-and-out masala entertainer and that too, with a great deal of motion. The teaser noticed Kartik kick goons and journey bikes (a scooter on this case) very similar to the ‘heroes’ of the 90s. Many followers had been shocked, some not pleasantly whereas others had been excited. It’s a daring selection for the actor who has largely achieved easy comedies to this point. However, it’s a excessive reward transfer too. The movie is predicated on the Telugu hit Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, which earned ₹262 crore on the field workplace in 2020. If Shehzada replicates its success, it stands to be Kartik’s largest hit but.
But Shehzada isn’t even his most experimental movie from his lineup. That honour goes to Freddy. The Shashanka Ghosh movie is way smaller in scale than Shehzada and sees Kartik in his darkest, most difficult position but, that of a murderous dentist. The movie, set to launch on Disney+ Hotstar subsequent month, will definitely stretch Kartik’s appearing skills. It is so good to see the actor difficult himself often (first Dhamaka and now this). He could fail as we’re but to see Kartik in a very nice efficiency. For me Dhamaka wasn’t an amazing efficiency regardless that it was effort. But him selecting Freddy nonetheless deserves reward in a time when Kartik’s contemporaries are completely happy to play inside their consolation zones.
And when the mud from Freddy and Shehzada settles, Kartik will return to enterprise as common along with his most Kartik Aaryan upcoming launch, a romantic comedy titled Satyaprem Ki Katha. Everything in regards to the movie, from the title to the appear and feel, screams Kartik. It is extra of a well-known territory for the actor, who has excelled in movies like Luka Chuppi and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety earlier.
So, we’ve got a darkish thriller the place he performs a sociopath, an motion entertainer with 90s vibes, and a romantic comedy set in a small city. That is as numerous as one can get. These movies are primed to not simply goal numerous genres and audiences, but additionally search for better penetration on the field workplace (no less than the latter two given Freddy is an OTT launch).
At 32, Kartik Aaryan is at a crossroads in his profession. He has been round for over a decade so will be deemed as a longtime actor. But he’s additionally younger sufficient to experiment and reinvent as per the viewers’s modified tastes. His three upcoming movies are proof that he’s trying simply that. How this performs out will likely be obvious over the following yr or so. But simply by trying this, Kartik has put himself in a greater place than a lot of his contemporaries.
