Kartik Aaryan is currently gearing up for the release of Shehzada, which also stars Kriti Sanon in the lead.
Kartik Aaryan is all set to impress everyone with his acting skills in Shehzada. Earlier, 2022 has been exciting for the actor after his film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 turned out to be a blockbuster. Not only this, the actor was also praised for his intense avatar in Freddy. Thus, it is clear that Kartik Aaryan has managed to climb to the highest rung of the ladder in such a short span of time. However, did you know that the actor who charged Rs 1.25 lakh for his debut film Pyaar Ka Punchnama is now earning Rs 20 crore for a 10-day shoot?
Kartik Aaryan was recently seen in Rajat Sharma’s Aap Ki Adalat. On the show, the actor was told that he had become ‘so obsessed’ with himself that after earning ‘a quarter of a lakh (Rs 1.25 lakh)’ in his first film (Pyaar Ka Punchnama), he was now asking for Rs 20 crore . To this, Kartik Aaryan politely replied, “Woh to dus din ke hain (It was for 10 days).”
While the actor immediately clarified and claimed that he was just joking, the journalist said, “No, you are not joking. For a film you shot in 10 days during the COVID-19 pandemic, you charged Rs. Took 20 crores.”
Following this, Kartik justified his fee and explained, “Sir yeh kiya tha corona ke time pe, par kya mein aise dicuss kar sakta hoon apni fees, mujhe nahi pata. Par haan woh ek film (Dhamaka) aise bani aur dus din ka shoot tha uska. Woh mera remuneration tha aur main dus din mein kya, bees din mein paise double kar deta hoon apne producers ke, toh banta hai (Yes, during the Covid-19 pandemic I had shot for the film for 10 days and that was my remuneration. I make my producers earn double the money in 20 days, so I think I deserve what I am paid.”
The actor also said, “I have always seen myself as a no. 1, Slowly people are also starting to know this and are seeing me like this. But the audience’s love means the most to me. I am desperate for his love and only for that I am obsessed with myself and want to give hit films..there is only one shehzada (prince) in the film industry.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kartik Aaryan is currently gearing up for the release of Shehzada, which also stars Kriti Sanon in the lead. The film will hit the theaters on February 10, 2023. Apart from Shehzada, Kartik also has Hansal Mehta’s Captain India, Satyaprem Ki Katha, Aashiqui 3 and Hera Pheri 3 lined up.
