Kartik Aaryan has made his mark at the box-office by delivering top five worldwide grossers—Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (Rs 420 crore, despite a clash), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (Rs 290 crore),Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (Rs 160 crore), Luka Chuppi (Rs 130 crore), and Satyaprem Ki Katha (Rs 126 crore)— showcasing his ability to give consistent hits.
These figures even excel recent performances of veteran stars like Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan, who’ve faced many flops despite their consistent delivery of 2-3 movies per year.

However, being cast with Varun Dhawan, another comedy powerhouse, could create a notable impact at the box office.
Their fresh chemistry can create a new dynamic, and since both actors have devoted fan bases, the movie might be a commercial success.
So far Kartik’s solo approach has paid off, but is this also limiting his growth? A multi-starrer can be a test of his versatility and might expand his reach, and blending this star power with Varun’s can be a new Bollywood milestone.
