Kartik Aaryan is currently enjoying the success of his latest Disney+Hotstar release Freddy.
The actor recently opened up about how his performance is being compared to the classic Darr that starred Shahrukh Khan.
In an interview with the Firstpost, the actor said “What was most surprising about the response was that even among critics, it was surreal to see unanimously good reviews to my performance and that is a first. So many people called me up and told me about how surprised they were to see me in such a dark role or that they couldn’t recognise me. So, I am just extremely encouraged to keep pushing my boundaries and to keep trying different things to give to the audience.”
The actor went on to speak about being compared with a legend like Shahrukh Khan. “The overall response from the critics being unanimously so good and positive for my performance this time has been my biggest compliment. And talking about a specific one, a lot of netizens compared my performance to Shah Rukh sir’s in Darr. This is a compliment I will never forget, that too coming from the viewers themselves, as well as a couple of reviewers. It means a lot to even have your name be used in the same sentence as the legend so this compliment is truly surreal,” Kartik Aaryan added.
