Kartik Aaryan is currently enjoying one of the most exciting phases of his career. The actor has lined up a range of films across genres, from romance to fantasy to zombies. His upcoming projects suggest a mix of commercial value and unique storytelling.
He is teaming up with Anurag Basu for Aashiqui 3, a romantic drama expected to carry strong musical appeal. Opposite Sreeleela, Kartik may deliver another hit after Saiyaara. He is also busy with Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, directed by Sameer Vidhwans.
This rom-com pairs him with Ananya Panday and follows the success of Satyaprem Ki Katha. Backed by Karan Johar and directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, Kartik is also entering the fantasy zone with Naagzilla, where he plays a snake-man in a unique setting.
Another big project is Captain India, directed by Shimit Amin of Chak De India fame. In this patriotic film based on true events, Kartik plays an Air Force pilot. He has also signed a zombie-based film with Vishnuvardhan, the director of Shershaah.
The zombie project is expected to begin filming in July 2026. With all five projects releasing between December 2025 and December 2027, Kartik Aaryan is clearly betting big on his versatility. Fans call him a lottery star, but the results lie ahead.
