MUMBAI: At the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia, Kartik Aaryan represented India on the global stage, interacting with audiences and industry figures from around the world. His presence highlighted the growing international footprint of Bollywood.
In the Session, Kartik shared that he had initially turned down Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise. “When the film first came to me, there was no story — just a sequel idea. I wasn’t keen. But Bhushan (Kumar) sir convinced me, we worked on it, and everything changed. Today, wherever I go, kids call me Rooh Baba. I’m glad I eventually did it,” he said.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and its follow-up Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, became career-defining milestones for Kartik, especially as BB2 emerged as one of Bollywood’s biggest theatrical blockbusters post-Covid, reviving audiences’ love for big-screen entertainment and reaffirming Kartik’s box-office appeal.
The actor’s revelation at the Red Sea International Film Festival not only gave fans a peek into his journey with the franchise but also showcased his growing global presence, cementing his status as one of Bollywood’s most loved stars.
