Actor Kartik Aaryan recently opened up about his remarkable ability to anticipate audience reactions to his films, even before they hit the screens. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Kartik shared insights into his thought process, highlighting how his experiences in the industry have refined his instincts about which projects will resonate with viewers.
Reflecting on his early days, Kartik admitted, “I initially used to figure it out in the starting itself, ‘yeh toh gaye!’” He recalled the challenges he faced when he was not receiving many film offers and expressed uncertainty about his ability to predict a film’s fate. However, over time, he has developed a keen sense of what audiences want, stating, “Now, I come to know pehle se hi (beforehand) what the reaction is going to be like.”
Despite having reservations about certain projects, Kartik remains dedicated to them once he commits. He emphasised, “Once I am on a film, I am totally into it with full honesty.” He also acknowledged the creative vision of the filmmakers, noting, “Maybe their thought process is better than mine.” This collaborative spirit reflects his respect for the industry and the people he works with.
Kartik’s confidence in his predictive abilities is bolstered by his self-proclaimed success rate of 90% in gauging audience reactions. He credits this intuition to his own experiences as a film enthusiast. “I am also an audience; I watch films too. I decide whether I want to watch a film or not based on the trailer. That’s how I choose,” he explained.
As he prepares for his next release, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, anticipation is high. The film is the third instalment of the successful franchise that includes Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which grossed an impressive Rs 266.88 crore worldwide and became one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of 2022. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is set to hit cinemas on November 1, coinciding with the Diwali celebrations, and fans are eager to see if Kartik’s instincts will once again prove accurate.
With a promising career trajectory and a firm grasp on audience sentiment, Kartik Aaryan is a rising star in the Bollywood landscape, ready to captivate audiences once more.
