Anupam Kher shares a photo of ‘two superstars’, posing with Kartik Aaryan

On his own Instagram account, actor Anupam Kher posted images of himself and Kartik Aaryan, describing them as two "superstars." Anupam further said that "the time is changing along with the system" in reference to the box office revenues of both their movies, The Kashmir Files and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Given that other high-profile, big-budget Bollywood productions failed to have an effect at the box office in 2022, these two movies rank among the handful of blockbusters of the year.

Anupam captioned the picture, "SUPERSTARS: Since the criteria of calling an actor (however good he/she is) a #SuperStar depends on the money their movies make, I am sharing with you all a pic of two SUPERSTARS. At least this year for me! My film #KashmirFiles made 350 crores worldwide and @kartikaaryan’s #BhoolBhulaiyaa2 earned close to 250 crores. Time is changing and so is the audience's taste and the system. Who had ever imagined that a day will come, when my film like #KashmirFiles in the lead will do business of 350cr. It is a good churning! I welcome the change. Hope you all do too! It was such a pleasure to meet #Kartik recently! He is going to be here for a long long time. Both, as an actor and a superstar."

In Hindi, he emphasised that despite his 40 years of running, there is still work to be done.

This year's successes include Anupam's The Kashmir Files and Kartik's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, as well as Alia Bhatt's Gangubai Kathiawadi and Varun Dhawan's Juggjugg Jeeyo. On the other hand, Bollywood has experienced a number of failures this year, the most recent being Laal Singh Chaddha, starring Aamir Khan, as well as Raksha Bandhan, featuring Akshay Kumar.

On the work front, Kartik is also anticipating the release of his film Freddy, in which he will co-star with Alaya F. He will be seen in the upcoming Captain India movie directed by Hansal Mehta. Soon, he will appear in Shehzada opposite Kriti Sanon.
