Why Kartik Aaryan’s Co-Star Calls Him a ‘Crazy, Mad Person’

According to the co-star, Kartik Aaryan’s “madness” comes from his intense dedication to his craft. The actor is known to go all out for his roles, often pushing himself beyond limits to get scenes just right. From repeating takes until perfection to constantly discussing character nuances, Kartik’s work ethic can be overwhelming—but in a good way.

“Kartik is also an extremely hardworking guy. Nobody knows when Kartik sleeps because he is a crazy, mad person who is constantly working. He will take care of everybody on set. He’s extremely sweet and a proper gentleman. He makes sure you are comfortable on screen and later even gives compliments like, ‘Chandni yeh scene tune mast kiya tha (you did this scene well).’ He tells you how you can improvise." she said.

“He is a full team player. He is extremely hardworking. During the shoot of Saat Sumandar and all of that medley, he had a 102 fever. He had popped an anti-allergic and Dolo. He was not feeling well at all, but he didn’t make it seem like he was not well. The dedication he has to his art is incredible." Chandini said about Kartik Aaryan.

Fans React to the Revelation

Fans were quick to react online, praising Kartik’s dedication and calling the description a badge of honor. Many believe this “madness” is exactly what has helped him rise from a non-industry background to become one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars.

If being “crazy” means being passionate, disciplined, and unstoppable, Kartik Aaryan clearly owns it. His co-star’s comment only reinforces the fact that behind the charming smile lies an actor who is fiercely committed to his journey.

The chatter started after Kartik posted a relaxed photograph of himself enjoying the seaside. Soon after, Reddit users noticed that a woman named Karina Kubiliute, believed to be of Greek origin, had also shared pictures from what appeared to be the same beach location. Online users began circulating comparison screenshots, pointing out striking similarities between the two sets of images. According to these users, the beach loungers, the angle of the shoreline, and even the placement of towels in the background looked nearly identical.

As the discussion gained traction, speculation intensified, with some commenters claiming that Kartik had been following the woman on social media before the posts started attracting attention. However, these claims remain unverified, and there is no independent confirmation of whether the two were vacationing together. Very little is publicly known about the woman, though Reddit users have suggested that she is currently studying in the UK. Neither Kartik Aaryan nor the woman has responded to the online rumours, leaving the matter firmly in the realm of internet conjecture.

Personal Life

Meanwhile, away from the social media buzz surrounding his personal life, Kartik recently opened up about emotional growth and past relationships in an interview with Filmfare. Reflecting on his relationship with actor Ananya Panday, he explained that time and experience had helped both of them mature as individuals. He shared that they now understand each other better, having gone through various highs and lows in life, and acknowledged that both have evolved significantly over the years.

Kartik also expressed the view that not all breakups are rooted in bitterness. He indicated that his relationship with Ananya had never been driven by negativity, describing it instead as one marked by affection and mutual respect regardless of circumstances. He mentioned that he has always had a soft corner for her and believes that sentiment is reciprocated.

Speaking further about personal growth, the actor noted that while there was a certain childishness in their behaviour earlier, maturity naturally comes with time. He added that while that playful side still exists, it is now more controlled, which he feels is a healthy change.

On the professional front, Kartik was last seen sharing screen space with Ananya Panday in Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. The film, however, received a lukewarm response at the box office.

How Much is the Advance Booking?

The pre-sales for Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri began on select screens on December 21. As the release date approaches, full-fledged ticket sales are expected to pick up. According to Sacnilk, the film has sold 14,777 tickets from 997 shows, earning approximately ₹61.92 lakh so far.

Although these initial figures may seem modest, analysts expect them to rise steadily as the holiday season approaches. With a Christmas release, the film could benefit from increased audience turnout. Trade experts estimate that the film is likely to open with a net collection between ₹6 crore and ₹10 crore in India, with current pre-sales suggesting a performance at the lower end of this range.

Star Cast of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri

Even before its release, the film has generated significant anticipation. However, it faces tough competition at the box office from blockbuster releases such as Avatar and Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, which could impact its earnings.

The story of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is written by Karan Srikant Sharma, while Sameer Vidwans directs the project. The film is produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Bhumika Tewari, Shareen Mantri Kedia, and Kishor Arora under the banners of Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures.

The lead roles are played by Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, supported by a talented ensemble cast including Neena Gupta, Jackie Shroff, Tiku Talsania, Chandni Bhabhda, Aruna Irani, Lokesh Mittal, Raghav Binani, and Gaurav Pandey.

Which scenes were cut?

The romantic comedy has been awarded a U/A 16+ certificate by the CBFC. According to the censor report, the board suggested three edits in the film.

• In the first part, a sexual scene was asked to be shortened, leading to a 15-second cut.
• In the second part, the makers were instructed to mute and remove certain obscene words from the dialogue.
• In another scene from the second half, an obscene expression was muted and removed as per the board’s directions.

After implementing these changes, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri was submitted to the CBFC on December 15. As per the censor certificate, the film’s total runtime is 145.41 minutes, which translates to 2 hours, 25 minutes, and 41 seconds.

About Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri

Written by Karan Shrikant Sharma and directed by Sameer Vidwans, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is a romantic comedy produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Bhumika Tewari, Shereen Mantri Kedia, and Kishore Arora. The film is backed by Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures.

The film stars Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday in lead roles, along with Neena Gupta, Jackie Shroff, Tiku Talsania, Chandni Bhabhda, Aruna Irani, Lokesh Mittal, Raghav Binani, and Gaurav Pandey in supporting roles.

Karan Johar Hails Kartik Aaryan

Karan Johar-in-residence for many such Bollywood stars at the moment-referenced Kartik's sharp reading of the audience's pulse and his slow but steady rise as a theatre-friendly performer. Whereas many films today are hard-pressed to draw crowds into booking up, Karan Johar said people are coming in to watch Kartik and his last few films, demonstrating how his weight at the box office is increasing.

From Rumoured Rift to Renewed Partnership

This is the project that has been speculated upon in recent times regarding a fallout during their previous collaboration. However, one sees the latest information now entirely erasing any such misunderstanding in their professional relationship. With Johar orchid's praise for Kartik's talent and marketing intelligence, the two seem set for a safe-and rationalized resurgence of potential.

A Big Commercial Entertainer on the Cards

Although no details are out there for all to see, inside the industry, the rumor mill is already buzzing about the next movie being a high-budget commercial potboiler. It would have been pure Dharma Productions grandeur through Kartik's presence with charm, humor, and mass appeal. A youthful narrative, fabulous music, and emotional intensity will be the distinct aspects on which the film is expected to have a strong hold.

Sources say Kartik Aaryan is going to work in yet another project with Karan Johar, but the entire team is completely mum on it right now. The reports suggest that he is now projected as the face of the new future of Dharma Productions by the company. It seems that he is going to sign quite a few high-profile films one after the other. Karan firmly believes that Kartik is now one of the veritable box-office draws in India and has very high commercial expectations from films like Tu Meri Main Tera and Naagzilla, considering them to be major successes at the box-office.

For Kartik, this association is again a milestone in his rapidly rising career in Bollywood. The actor is slowly, but surely, becoming one of the most reliable names in the industry with a series of successful films and an increasing fan base.

With Karan Johar quoting him as the "most bankable star" and officially coming together with him again, fans are eager for updates. The pairing promises one of the most anticipated Bollywood releases in the coming months.

Kartik Aryan-Ananya Panday's Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Teaser

The teaser introduces Kartik and Ananya as Ray and Rumi, two characters with completely different outlooks toward life. While Ray is playful and carefree, Rumi is strong-willed and independent. Their paths cross during an exotic holiday, where all their banter, funny exchanges, and teasing slowly mature into love. The teaser shows several fun-in-the-sun moments along with some impromptu dance sessions reflecting the film's vivacious spirit and youthful energy.

Chemistry That Pops On-Screen

One of the most enticing visuals from the teaser shows Kartik and Ananya leaning in to kiss, cleverly blocked by an Indian passport. A fun gesture of this kind delineates the romantic, naughty energy that defines their relationship in the film. Fans of the duo, who shared screen space in Pati Patni Aur Woh, are zealously awaiting the opportunity of seeing their organic chemistry in a new narrative.

Production and Release Updates

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is an offering from Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures. The film has recently concluded its principal shoot which lasted for almost two months, with the focus remaining on the vibrant locations that present a great holiday backdrop. Initially scheduled for an early 2026 release, the filmmakers have now declared the film will be released on the 31st of December, 2025- an ideal New Year's Eve gift to the audience.

Behind-the-Scenes Buzz

Kartik Aaryan is overtly expressing his excitement for completing the shoot, describing it as “fast-paced, fun, and unforgettable.” On social media, fans have shared behind-the-scenes clips showing all the lead actors while having fun in the scenic locales, perfecting their dances, and cracking jokes in between takes. These brief glimpses underline the feel-good entertaining appeal of the film.

Days after the announcement, the makers have offered a glimpse from the first day of shooting, which commenced with a traditional muhurat puja.

"We're not just rolling...we're slithering into the world of #Naagzilla! Day 1 was filled with laughter, blessings, positivity and too much ph'n!" the caption read.

The movie is set to hit theatres on August 14, 2026, just a day before India's Independence Day.

'Naagzilla' was announced in April this year when the actor shared his first look with a motion poster. "Insanon wali picharein toh bahut dekh leen, ab dekho naagon wali pichchar #Naagzilla - Naag lok ka Pehla kaand.... Funnn phailaane Aa raha hu main, Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand... Naag Panchami par aapke nazdeeki Sssssinemas mein," the actor playfully wrote at the time.

It marks Kartik Aaryan's second collaboration with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, following their upcoming Christmas release - 'Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri'.

On Monday, the makers shared a new poster of the film, stating that 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri' will hit theatres on December 25, 2025. (ANI) 

(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by Asianet Newsable English staff and is published from a syndicated feed)

From Rumours to Revelation

Initially announced in 2019, Dostana 2 was to star Kartik Aaryan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Lakshya. However, the film hit a major roadblock when Kartik Aaryan exited the project following reported creative differences with the makers. Since then, fans wondered whether the film had been shelved entirely.

Now, putting an end to all speculation, Vikrant Massey has not only confirmed his involvement but also hinted at what’s in store.

"I am doing 'Dostana 2'. I don't know why I'm not talking about it. It's my first Dharma film," said Vikrant in a recent media interaction.

The actor, known for portraying grounded, realistic roles, revealed that Dostana 2 will show him in a never-before-seen avatar wearing designer clothes, stylish sunglasses, and shooting in European locations.

A New Desi Girl?

While Vikrant confirmed that Lakshya is still part of the project, he chose to stay tight-lipped about the film’s leading lady.

"Let the girl be a surprise. It's better if Karan sir makes that announcement," he said, sparking curiosity.

According to reports, Sreeleela has now replaced Janhvi Kapoor in the film, though an official confirmation is still awaited.

A Sequel to a Cult Classic

Dostana 2 is billed as a spiritual sequel to the 2008 hit Dostana, which starred Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, the latter becoming an iconic “Desi Girl” with the film. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Karan Johar, the original was a massive hit for its bold concept and music.

The sequel is expected to carry forward the franchise’s quirky, glamorous vibe, while introducing a modern storyline and new faces.

Release Timeline

While production timelines are still under wraps, media reports suggest that 'Dostana 2' is slated for release in late 2026.

With Vikrant Massey stepping into the world of glitz and glamour, fans are eager to see how this unexpected casting change will reshape the much-awaited sequel.

Anurag Basu Reacts to Re Shooting of Kartik Aryan, Sreeleela Film

The director Anurag Basu reacts to the rumours stating that the film is neither being re-shot nor rewritten in the wake of Saiyaara's success. In a candid conversation, Anurag Basu had mentioned, "The only similarity between our movies is that the lead actor is a rockstar; the stories are grossly different."

He further clarified by saying that it doesn't involve dementia or anything like that within it. For example, "In my film, the girl does not have dementia or any disability; we are not rewriting or re shooting."

Production Status and Timeline

Currently, nearly 40% of the film has been completed and shooting is expected to resume in the time frame of August - September 2025. The holdup has been attributed to not changes in the storyline, such as continuity issues regarding Kartik Aaryan's look with him being busy doing shots for another film, Tu Meri Main Tera... , with a cleanly shaven face for Basu's film.

It was originally set for a Diwali 2025 release but is now postponed to early 2026.

Anurag's Perspective and Industry Context

Interestingly, Mohit Suri first pitched the story of Saiyaara to be developed as a script for Aashiqui 3. After that, the collaboration broke down so this was pursued by Suri independently. Later, Anurag Basu was roped in for the official Aashiqui franchise reboot with Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela, and according to him, both narratives are fundamentally unique.

No Re-Shooting, Just Continuity

In essence, there will be no reshooting or script rewrites resulting from the success of Saiyaara. Anurag Basu is concerned with presenting a unique musical love tale, which does not really follow the trend of such recent ones. Any delays, however, are due to logistical production and not due to overlap in concepts or themes.

But this isn’t just about fitness goals — it’s a look into the quiet discipline behind his success. Whether transforming physically for Freddy, training like an athlete for Chandu Champion, or diving into emotionally demanding roles, Kartik’s process is rooted in consistency and complete commitment. Every performance the audience sees is backed by relentless prep and a never-quit mindset.

Criticizing Kartik's long hair and weird look, one person wrote, "After Ranbir in Animal, many actors have copied this look. Himesh in Ravi Kumar, Varun in Baby John, Kartik in A3, and Tiger in Baaghi 4 have copied this second look.

The moment captured in the video reflects the deep camaraderie between Navdeep Singh and Kartik Aaryan. It serves as a reminder of how cinema can play a vital role in highlighting the stories of para-athletes and the challenges they face. The presence of Kartik and Kabir at the Arjuna Award ceremony today further underscores the importance of recognizing Murlikant Petkar’s legacy. His long-awaited Arjuna Award is a well-deserved recognition of his resilience and achievements.

This touching video encapsulates the intersection of sports and cinema, where stories of real-life heroes like Murlikant Petkar are celebrated. It’s a poignant reminder of how storytelling fosters unity, bringing people together to honor the accomplishments of true champions.

Kabir noted that he was thrilled to see Murlikant Petkar finally receive the acknowledgment he deserved. He revealed that during his initial interactions with Murlikant, he sensed an underlying disappointment, though the athlete himself never directly voiced it. Kabir shared that Murlikant felt somewhat let down by the country. He described how the athlete’s demeanor reflected a quiet yearning for the recognition that had eluded him for decades. Kabir emphasized his happiness that, after more than 50 years, Murlikant’s contributions were finally being celebrated.

Murlikant Petkar’s resilience and achievements are awe-inspiring. Despite being injured by nine bullets during the 1965 war with Pakistan, he recovered and pursued sports with determination. In 1972, he etched his name in history by becoming India’s first Paralympic gold medalist.

Actor Kartik Aaryan, who has been widely praised for his portrayal in Chandu Champion, also expressed his delight at the recognition. He stated that learning about Murlikant’s life during the film’s preparation made the news feel deeply personal to him. Kartik admired the athlete’s unyielding spirit and strength in facing life’s challenges.

Describing the award as a great start to the year, Kartik highlighted that Murlikant’s sportsmanship and resolute attitude stood unmatched. He acknowledged the athlete as one of India’s finest champions and a true inspiration for generations.

Chandu Champion, which released in June 2024, has been celebrated for bringing Murlikant Petkar’s extraordinary journey to the forefront and reigniting discussions about unsung heroes in Indian sports.

Kartik Aaryan celebrated the New Year by visiting the Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai. The actor was spotted requesting blessings for the next year, and his bearded appearance stole the limelight. A video of his temple visit rapidly became viral. He was observed posing for the photographers.

Kartik is seen in the video, which was provided by Viral Bhayani, sporting a basic brown shirt and trousers. The actor was photographed sporting a beard and wishing the media a happy new year. 

 One of the fans wrote, “He needs to smile more. KA’s smile is what is his most stunning feature!" Another wrote, “He never forgets his roots."

Kartik Aaryan has shocked fans with launching his new romantic comedy, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. The promotional video was also published and quickly went viral.

Several celebs praised the actor in the film. Karan Johar complimented and mocked him about Rumi. Kartik Aaryan's humorous reply caught our notice. Taking to his Instagram stories, Kartik Aaryan shared Karan Johar’ reaction which reads, “Par shubh mahurat ka samay nikla ja raha hai Ray…Rumi ka besabri se intezar hai…" On this Kartik replied, “Itna easily thodi mooh dikhayi ho jayegi."  

This time he's collaborating with none other than Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. Sameer Vidwans directs the film, which is named Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. This partnership is already generating news since it signifies the end of their much-discussed feud following Kartik's contentious withdrawal from Dostana 2, a project he was slated to feature in with Janhvi Kapoor but was finally scrapped. They eventually buried the hatchet earlier this year, and now they're ready to make magic together.

Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan have reconciled following a disagreement in 2021. The two fell out when Kartik was pulled from Karan's Dostana 2, in which he was supposed to act with Janhvi Kapoor.

Despite the fact that the film was already in production, Kartik's departure made headlines, fuelling speculation that Karan was displeased with Kartik's supposed "unprofessional" behaviour.

Kartik Aaryan is enjoying the success of his horror-comedy flick Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The film was released in November 2024 and grossed more than Rs 417 crore globally, making it the sixth highest-grossing Indian film 2024. According to the latest reports, Kartik plans to acquire two additional houses in Andheri, Mumbai.

According to Mid-Day, Kartik has been looking for a high-end residential flat and a business location larger than 2,000 square feet with the aid of producer Anand Pandit. He already has many residential and commercial properties in Mumbai, including two residences in Juhu, one in Versova, and another in Andheri.

Furthermore, the article added, "He has rented out one of them for Rs 4.5 lakh per month." The affluent neighbourhood is known for housing celebrities. Kartik purchased a flat in Versova in 2019, where he had previously resided as a paying guest amid his financial difficulties. He also purchased a 2,000-square-foot office space in Veera Desai, where Amitabh Bachchan, Sara Ali Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Kajol all have offices. That was also rented out."

Meanwhile, Kartik just revealed a new film, Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, which would be produced by Dharma Productions, owned by Karan Johar. This is their first on-screen cooperation following news of their falling out, which resulted in Aaryan's departure from Dostana. Janhvi Kapoor and Lakshya are set to star in the film, which was announced in 2019.

Tu Meri, Main Tera. Tu Meri also marks Kartik's comeback with director Sameer Vidwans, with whom he previously collaborated in Satyaprem Ki Katha alongside Kiara Advani.

This film is the latest chapter in a series that started with Priyadarshan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa in 2007, which starred Akshay Kumar as a ghostbuster. Kartik joined the franchise in 2022 with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, a film that refreshed the horror-comedy genre and became a massive hit. Now, with Vidya Balan’s return as the menacing Manjulika, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 offers fans another thrilling chapter with a suspenseful Rooh Baba-Manjulika faceoff.

Director Anees Bazmee’s take on the franchise continues to capture the charm of horror-comedy, combining scares with laughs. The response from fans and critics suggests this installment may become one of the most celebrated films of the year, as it heads into its first full week with unstoppable momentum.

Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has been enjoying the success of his recently released film, and fans like his character Rooh Baba. The attractive hunk of Bollywood has found himself in the public spotlight for his dating life after his co-star Vidya Balan taunted him on The Great Indian Kapil Show. However, Kartik has confirmed his relationship status in an interview with Mashable India. 

The actor stated that he is unmarried and hasn't had time to date since Chandu Champion. He also described his job schedule as busy, saying that he scarcely had time for anything else.

He said, 'I am single. I don't have to send my live location to anyone. I am not even present on any dating apps. Technically, since I have been preparing and shooting for Chandu Champion, I didn't get the time'. He added that, 'I was in such a strict regime, in which I had to calculate my gym, eating, and sleeping pattern, just like an athlete. All of that went on for two years. I was also learning to swim for the very first time. The routine became so hectic. Plus, shooting for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and finishing it in a specific period of time was also a challenge. So, I was completely busy with all that'.

So, the whole cast and crew of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 appeared on Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show. During their enjoyable conversation, Vidya stated, 'During the filming, he was always on his phone between shots. I used to stand close to him, expecting to get a hint, but all I could hear was, 'Me Too, Me Too.' So I had no idea!" He then baited him with the question, "What is her name?" 

Anees Bazmee directed Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which stars Triptii Dimri, Madhuri Dixit, Rajpal Yadav, Shweta Tiwari, and Vijay Raaz in lead parts. The film has grossed Rs 123.5 crore at the box office. Kartik Aaryan has previously worked with several Bollywood actresses, including Sara Ali Khan, Kriti Sanon, Ananya Panday, and Tara Sutaria.

Compared to Singham Again, BB3 showed stronger momentum, with audience preferences appearing to favor the horror-comedy genre. Despite the impressive start, industry experts noted that its performance on Monday would be crucial to its long-term success.

The film continued its strong performance with an estimated Rs 36.50 crore on its second day, bringing the domestic collection to about Rs 72 crore, according to Sacnilk.

Kartik Aaryan, who reprised his role as the ghostbuster Rooh Baba, expressed his gratitude to fans for their support through social media. He posted a picture on Instagram with a message celebrating the film as a “global blockbuster,” highlighting a worldwide Day 1 collection of Rs 55.30 crore.

The film also features a talented cast, including Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, Rajesh Sharma, and Ashwini Kalselar, adding to its robust lineup and appeal.

On November 2, 2024, the film enjoyed a strong audience turnout, with an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 75.06%. The viewership fluctuated throughout the day, with morning shows at 45.63%, afternoon shows rising to 80.51%, and evening and night shows reaching high occupancy rates of 86.92% and 87.17%, respectively. This consistent performance positions Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 for a potentially impressive opening weekend, solidifying its standing in the box office charts.

The film reportedly opened with collections estimated between ₹36-38 crore on Day 1. The advance bookings surpassed ₹16 crore, and spot bookings remained robust throughout the day. Kartik Aaryan, who reprises his role as Rooh Baba, shared his excitement on social media, expressing gratitude for the audience's support. He posted an image on Instagram announcing the film’s "global blockbuster" status with a worldwide Day 1 collection of ₹55.3 crore.

The movie’s ensemble cast includes Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, Rajesh Sharma, and Ashwini Kalselar, adding depth and talent to this thrilling installment of the franchise.

Set against the vibrant backdrops of Kolkata and film sets in Mumbai, the film revolves around Manjulika and her twin sister Anjulika, played by Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit, respectively. Their dance number shows their exceptional talent and brings a sense of nostalgia for fans of Bollywood's golden era as Madhuri’s classical Kathak moves paired with Vidya’s expressive performance create a spectacle that elevates the film's aesthetic.

In the movie, Rooh Baba (Kartik Aaryan), a con artist masquerading as a ghostbuster, is drawn into a web of supernatural intrigue involving the haunted Raktaghat palace. The film cleverly introduces humor through familiar faces like Sanjay Mishra, Rajpal Yadav and Ashwini Kalsekar who provide comic relief amidst the eerie atmosphere, just like in part 2. However, while the comedic elements are present, many jokes feel cliched or forced, relying heavily on situational setups rather than sharp writing.

One of the film's significant strengths lies in its climax, which tackles pressing societal issues regarding identity and self-acceptance. The revelation about Manjulika not only ties up loose ends but also invites viewers to reflect on how societal taboos can hinder personal growth. This twist adds depth to what could have been just another horror-comedy flick. The climax also suggests that while Manjulika's arc may conclude here, there are opportunities for new stories to emerge. 

Kartik Aaryan not only shines as Rooh Baba but balances nicely between comedy and romance. His chemistry with Triptii Dimri is palpable, though some musical numbers featuring them feel unnecessarily prolonged, affecting the film's pacing. The music retains the catchy tunes familiar to fans of the franchise, effectively enhancing the spooky yet entertaining atmosphere.

Visually, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 benefits from its diverse locations and vibrant cinematography that captures Kolkata's essence beautifully. The production design complements the narrative well, although some visual effects fall short of expectations in creating a truly immersive experience.

Despite its flaws, such as uneven pacing and moments where humor fails to land, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 succeeds in delivering an entertaining experience for families looking for festive fun. 

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 offers enough thrills and laughs to satisfy fans of the genre. If you’re seeking a light-hearted outing this Diwali filled with spooky laughs and catchy music, this film is worth checking out. Asianet Newsable gives the movie a four-star rating out of five.

Let's see the Twitter review of the film..

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 earned a lot of money through advance booking before its release. Apart from Kartik Aaryan, the film stars Tripti Dimri, Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, and Vijay Raaz in important roles. It will be interesting to see how much this film, made on a budget of ₹150 crores, earns.

Kartik Aaryan romances Triptii Dimri in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which also stars Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Mishra, and Rajpal Yadav. Kartik will reprise his role as Rooh Baba from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, while Vidya returns to the franchise after 17 years. Singham Again, on the other hand, is the sequel to 2014's Singham Returns and stars Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, and others in leading roles.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Box Office Collection: Day 1 Prediction

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has generated a lot of excitement around town and is expected to do well at the box office. A producer and film business specialist, Girish Johar, told a media outlet, "I would be delighted if it grossed about Rs 20-25 crores. There is uncertainty over the Diwali holiday. Some sections of the nation celebrate on the 31st, while others celebrate on the first. So it's not a full-fledged holiday. It would be fantastic if the picture opened around Rs 20-25 crores.

Singham outperformed Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 by a significant margin. Singham Again is projected to outperform Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 at the box office, leading by Rs 10-15 crores. Please let us know which film you are most interested in.

In a recent interview with Zoom, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 star Kartik Aaryan opened up about the release and said his film does not require any gimmicks or cameos. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has an impressive star cast including Kartik Aaryan, Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Mishra, Rajpal Yadav, and Vijay Raaz among others.

In the interview, Kartik Aaryan said, “Bhool Bhulaiyaa is complete with all set of actors who are already in the movie. Isme aur kuch humey gimmicks nhi karne ki zaroorat hai. Hume humari story, humare film me both confidence hai."

In a previous interview with Pinkvilla, Kartik accidentally spoke of Kiara Advani and shooting a climax with her. The fans started speculating that Kiara might have a cameo and return to her role of Kartik's love interest just like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. However, in an interview with Galatta India, Kartik cleared the speculations, and said, "Yar wo mere se galti se nikal gaya tha. Main Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 ki baat kar raha tha, lekin 2 ki baat nikal gayi. Logon ne socha maine pata nahi kuchh aisa raaz khol dia, spoiler de dia. Wo galti se ho gaya the mujhse."

In the Pinkvilla interview, the actor also talked about filming two endings. He said, "Yes, two climaxes were filmed, so there’s some confusion. In fact, when the script was sent, no one except a few key people had the last 15 pages.”

On November 1, Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will be released in theaters and compete at the box office. Rohit Shetty's Singham Again promises an action-packed cop movie with a star-studded cast including Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, Jackie Shroff among others.  

Salman Khan will also be making a cameo in the film and reprising his role of cop Chulbul Pandey from his Dabangg franchise.

Saudi Arabian film authorities carefully review content, editing some movies to align with local cultural and religious standards while completely banning others. Films deemed to have religiously sensitive themes or those containing explicit scenes are often censored or withheld.

Thematically inspired by the Ramayana, Singham Again is the latest film in director Rohit Shetty’s cop universe. It follows the success of Singham, Singham Returns, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi, with Ajay Devgn’s character embodying elements of both Lord Ram and the warrior king Shivaji Maharaj. Arjun Kapoor plays a role inspired by Raavan, while Kareena Kapoor Khan appears in a Sita-inspired role. Tiger Shroff’s character resembles Lakshman, and Ranveer Singh draws inspiration from Lord Hanuman. The film also features Deepika Padukone and Akshay Kumar, further enriching the cast with Ramayana-inspired figures.

Meanwhile, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, the third entry in this horror-comedy franchise, stars Kartik Aaryan and sees Vidya Balan returning as Manjulika. Madhuri Dixit also joins the cast as a ghost, while Truptii Dimri takes on a role previously held by Kiara Advani. The anticipation surrounding both Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is high, as advance bookings have already opened. Given their successful franchises, the two films are evenly poised to attract audiences with their star-studded lineups and promising entertainment value.

During a recent media event, Kartik had a female admirer propose to him with a beautiful poem. Talking about it, Vidya remarked that he enjoys female attention and added, “Anyone who says they hate attention is lying. When people say that and especially actors, male actors and Kartik Aaryan, it’s just a lie (laughs)! No chance! He enjoys it and he should. He isn’t awkward about female attention at all.” 

Responding to her, Kartik giggled and replied, “But when did I say I hate attention? I love it, be it male attention or female attention.”

Vidya came out laughing after hearing his comments. In response, she joked and ended up delivering a major hint about Kartik's relationship status, putting an end to all conjecture. “Great, so he has opened all doors now,” she said. When asked what one piece of advise she would give him, she replied, "The only relationship advice I would like to give him is to get into one and have one."

Vidya went on to say that it was never difficult to break the ice with him because they began off on a humorous note. Recalling the event, she told us, "He's a lot of fun, and I have to say he's a good sport. So I like ribbing him. This camaraderie began before we even started working. I first met him at an awards ceremony, and I'll never forget it. My manager informed me that her niece is a big Kartik fan and enjoyed Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. She asked me to take a photo or video of him if I met him.

She said, "I approached him without exchanging niceties and instructed him to perform a byte. It felt like I'd known him forever. And then I realised: what did I do? I felt like I was commanding him (laughs)! Then I returned to him, greeted him properly, and told him that I, too, enjoyed his video. But that's also how he is, so you feel like you know him.

So, what one attribute about Kartik does she wish to emulate? "Like Kartik, I want to be able to participate in all aspects of filmmaking. I lack the talent and, sadly, patience. I felt like, "Log hai na, kar lenge!" He is not like that. Kartik knows the box office significantly better than I do. If you want to know how many screens Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will be launched in, go ask Kartik," Vidya said.

Ahead of the release, the cast has been promoting the film across various locations, with recent promotions taking place in Lucknow. In a moment that quickly went viral, Kartik Aaryan and Madhuri Dixit were seen dancing to the title track inside a car, a video of which Kartik shared on his Instagram handle. Captioning it with playful wordplay, Kartik wrote about being in “Luck-now” to create this “Madhu-reel,” adding that the film is only “3 Days to Go.” Fans reacted enthusiastically, with one remarking that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is set to create its own legacy this Diwali, while another commented on Kartik living the dream of every ‘90s kid.

With the release just two days away, the excitement around the film is palpable, as the film is already making its mark in box-office pre-sales. According to the filmmakers, the first day of advance booking has already hit 17,000 tickets, reaching a gross of ₹48 lakh in India alone. Notably, Gujarat has led ticket sales with a gross worth of ₹12 lakh, closely followed by Maharashtra with ₹11 lakh.

Kartik Aaryan and Tripti Dimri play the key roles, with Madhuri Dixit, Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, and Ashwini Kalsekar. They promise a combination of romance, humour, and frightening enjoyment. 

Although the big press screenings have not yet taken place, several early social media reviews describe the film as "entertaining to watch."  

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will have stiff competition from Singham Again, which releases on November 1. Singham Again, which stars Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, and Deepika Padukone, has a dedicated following. However, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 provides a unique blend of laughter and thrills. 

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has played 1790 concerts and sold 28,454 tickets. According to Sacnilk, the total gross sum currently stands at roughly Rs 72 lakh. Rohit Shetty's Singham Again, which began pre booking on Monday evening on limited screens, has just 403 performances and has sold 2,293 tickets.

The gross sales total Rs 7.7 lakh. Advance booking was only available on some PVR-INOX venues and a few independent screens, while the Kartik Aaryan-led horror comedy was available on select independent single screens.

According to reports, the showing of both films would be divided, with Singham Again receiving 56% of the total and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 receiving 46%.

Bollywood Hungama reported that the CBFC instructed the removal or modification of footage totaling 7.12 minutes. Although the cuts are dispersed, some adjustments reflect culturally sensitive material. For instance, the Examining Committee requested that two 23-second “match cut” visuals, depicting Lord Rama, Sita Mata, and Lord Hanuman, be altered to represent Singham, Avni, and Simmba. Additionally, a 23-second scene showing “Singham with Shri Ram, touching feet” was also required to be modified.

The report added that a 16-second visual of Raavan “grabbing, pulling, and pushing Sita” was removed at the board's request. They also ordered a 29-second scene involving “Hanuman burning and dialogue of Simmba flirting” to be deleted. Furthermore, a 26-second sequence, including certain visuals and dialogues, was cut due to concerns about potentially impacting India’s diplomatic relations with a neighboring country. This is relevant since part of “Singham Again” is set in Sri Lanka.

The CBFC also mandated a disclaimer at the beginning of the film. It states that “this film is purely a work of fiction” and, although inspired by the story of Lord Ram, it does not intend for any characters to be regarded as revered deities. The narrative is based on contemporary characters and their societies, cultures, and traditions.

Following these modifications, the film’s duration stands at 2 hours and 24 minutes. Featuring an impressive ensemble, 'Singham Again' includes Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, and Jackie Shroff, marking the fifth film in Rohit Shetty’s celebrated Cop Universe.

In his Instagram post, Kartik gave fans a glimpse of the epic showdown by describing it as a “home-ground battle” set at the famous Kolkata landmark. The picture showed Vidya gripping Kartik’s neck as they stood atop a car, hinting at the tension their characters will bring to the screen. Fans responded enthusiastically, with one commenting that the duo was poised to "set a new benchmark for Bollywood" this Diwali, while another expressed their excitement to see them share the screen again.

As per reports, over 17,000 tickets had been sold on the first day of booking, yielding approximately ₹48 lakh in gross revenue. Gujarat has led in ticket sales, with ₹12 lakh grossed, followed by Maharashtra at ₹11 lakh.

So you never know. And it's up to the audience; basically, they have to decide which one they have liked and which one they would like to see. And so the final test is in the theatre; that's where everything will happen. So we can only hope for the best, and we can only say, ‘We have a good product; please come and watch'."

During an interview with Pinkvilla, Kartik Aaryan addressed the ongoing debate about actors charging exorbitant fees for their films. He explained that film pricing follows a business model, where everything is calculated. If these calculations are accurate, then, according to Aaryan, the system works well. He emphasized that actors should be involved in the financial aspects of filmmaking to better support the producers. He acknowledged the ongoing debates but stated that dissatisfaction arises when people fail to understand the calculations behind these fees. He mentioned that his goal is to ensure his producers remain satisfied with their financial decisions. Recalling an example, he shared how he waived his fee for Shehzada when the film faced financial struggles, which ultimately led the producers to credit him as a producer.

When asked if he had ever taken up a film purely for monetary reasons, Aaryan admitted that he had. He recounted a time when he was financially strained, which forced him to sign a particular film, though he did not disclose the title. He explained that during the early phase of his career, he had limited choices and couldn't afford to wait for better opportunities. However, when questioned whether he had ever chosen a project based solely on the producer's name rather than the script, Aaryan stated that he had not. He said he trusted his instincts when selecting roles.

When asked about rumors regarding two climaxes being filmed, Kartik confirmed that two endings were indeed shot, adding that only a few key people had access to the last 15 pages of the script to maintain secrecy.

The big revelation occurred when Kartik accidentally mentioned Kiara Advani while discussing the shoot. He began saying, “When we were shooting... with Kiara…” before realizing his mistake and quickly trying to divert the conversation towards Vidya Balan’s involvement. Laughing nervously, he asked whether the chat was being broadcast live, in a light-hearted attempt to cover his slip.

This does, in fact, say volumes about the excitement that the release of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 trailer has caused. Alongside Tripti Dimri, Vidya Balan, the original Manjulika, and Madhuri Dixit, her co-star, Kartik Aaryan will be reprising his role as Rooh Baba from the smash movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2! This eagerly awaited release, which is being directed by Anees Bazmee and started by Bhushan Kumar, is expected to continue the heritage of Bollywood's most beloved horror-com comedy series. Prepare yourselves for an entertaining and hilarious Diwali! Keep checking back for more exciting news! On November 1, 2024, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will have a big release on Diwali.

According to reports, Kartik Aaryan is expected to earn between ₹40 to ₹50 crore for his role in Bhool Bhulaiyya 3. This represents a staggering threefold increase from his fee for the previous film, Bhool Bhulaiyya 2, where he reportedly earned ₹15 crore. His current fee makes him the highest-paid cast member, reflecting his rising star power in the industry. To put it into perspective, Kartik’s debut fee was just ₹70,000 for Pyaar Ka Punchnama, showing how far he has come in his career.

The significant increase in his pay can be attributed to the immense success of Bhool Bhulaiyya 2, which became a blockbuster, especially in a challenging post-pandemic market. At a time when many veteran actors were struggling to fill theaters, Kartik managed to captivate audiences with his dynamic performance, proving he could hold his own in the franchise originally led by Akshay Kumar.

Another rising star in the cast is Triptii Dimri, who has also seen a substantial increase in her fees following her breakout role in the film Animal, alongside Ranbir Kapoor. She reportedly earned ₹40 lakh for her role in Animal, but for Bhool Bhulaiyya 3, her fee has doubled to ₹80 lakh. While this is impressive, it still amounts to only about 20% of what Kartik will be earning.

Excitement is building for Bhool Bhulaiyya 3, especially with the return of original cast member Vidya Balan as Monjulika. With a promising cast and a Diwali release, the film is poised to be a major hit at the box office, and fans can’t wait to see what this new chapter has in store.

The dark truth of the history of Rakt Ghat, which is in the greed of every throne, centuries have passed but the past burning in this throne is still alive today

The world is stupid, which is afraid of ghosts... Ghosts should be taken advantage of

If I had my way with dreams, what kind of dreams would I have about you

You are a number one pervert. Yes... I am a boy

I don't just talk to spirits, spirits also come inside me

This is not a prince. There is no 'P' of a prince. Where does 'P' come from in a prince? But 'P' comes in a hypocrite

There was no mention of it in the pages of history... If this was a storm, then the deluge is yet to come

Manju... I'm coming for you

You must be thinking who is Manjulika among the two of us?

We are getting married Roohan... Come upstairs

As two of the most anticipated films of the year, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again are set to clash at the box office this festive season.
