Alongside Kartik, numerous Indian stars such as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rekha were also present at the event.
Kartik's future endeavors
In his upcoming project, Kartik will star in 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri' alongside Ananya Panday, set to premiere on December 25. The narrative explores the lives of two people whose paths become unexpectedly intertwined, challenging the boundaries between fate and choice. Directed by Sameer Vidwans, known for 'Satyaprem Ki Katha,' the film also features veteran actors like Jackie Shroff, Neena Gupta, and Tiku Talsania in supporting roles.
Kartik Aaryan is said to be teaming up with Anurag Basu for a new romantic-musical drama. Initially, the media called it Aashiqui 3, but recent reports indicate that the film has a new identity, with the working title Tu Meri Zindagi Hai. The movie will also introduce South Indian actress Sreeleela in her first Hindi film role, alongside Kartik. Originally planned for a Diwali 2025 release, production setbacks have postponed its premiere to early 2026.
Naagzilla represents a significant departure from Kartik's typical roles in romance or comedy. In this movie, he portrays a shape-shifting serpent called Preyamvadeshwar Pyare Chand. Directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, who is recognized for comedies such as Fukrey, the film is produced by Dharma Productions and Mahaveer Jain Films. It is set to be released in theaters on 14 August 2026.
