After Bhool Bhulaiya 2, do you think you’re Hero no. 1?
I’ve believed it before that, but people are just realizing it now. But I want the audience’s love. If I am obsessed about becoming no. 1 and giving super hits…it’s for the audience and the love that they give me.
Film industry mai Shahenshah hai, Badshah hai, Bhaijaan hai…
… but Shehzada ek hi hai!
When Kartik used to stand outside SRK’s Mannat to click selfie –
That was my first day in Mumbai, actually. It was a Sunday. I’m a big SRK fan and his story inspired me so much. I landed in front of the house hoping to see him.
He exited with his car, waving at the public and I thought he saw me, I was ecstatic thinking SRK noticed me. I stood outside Galaxy too for Salman, but the public was rowdy and there was a lathi charge. I fled, escaping lathi but it was a memorable day.
My Dream Isn’t 100 Crores But 1000 Crores –
I feel like a Prince today. But I want to create my own line. My belief system is strongly based on me and that’s brought me here. If I can come from Gwalior and make it, then anyone can.
The way ahead is still long. When I stood outside Mannat, I wished to make my own Mannat too. It’s not about the money, it’s about people’s love. I feel – as my money increases, the audience’s affection for me is increasing too.
If producers are investing in me that much, I will also want to return that investment properly. And my dream isn’t 100 crores but 1000 crores!
25 din, paisa double to Producers?
That’s the truth. Look at my track record… My last 6 films out of 7 are superhit.
Sajid Nadiadwala says – Whatever he’s saying is the truth. Kartik is like a new discovery after this Covid and recession.
Superstars ban na band ho gaya hai. How did you become one without a godfather?
That’s a secret I don’t wish to reveal.
SRK says I’m the last superstar, there won’t be any after me.
Mere aage nai hoga. I don’t want to compare with anyone, I’ve been his fan and I admire SRK’s legacy. It’s the public and their love who makes Superstars. I’m lucky in that regard. The people sitting here have made me.
Jab tak log filme dekte rahenge, superstars bante rehenge. I feel proud and blessed to have such love.
