Unquestionably, one of Bollywood's top current crowd-pullers is Kartik Aaryan. The gifted actor, who is best recognised for his impeccable comedic timing, is currently in the best stage of his acting career thus far, with a slate of projects that looks quite promising. This week marks the release of Kartik's ambitious film Shehzada, and he is currently preoccupied with the film's last round of promotions. The actor recently spoke with an entertainment portal and shared details of his selection process for movies.

It's interesting that Kartik Aaryan said he always makes a "gut call" when picking movies. Even though the consecutive successes seem surreal, he continued by saying that there is no "secret formula" to success. The celebrity said in his interview with ETimes:  "It sometimes feels unreal but there is no secret formula to it… I take a gut call on my films as per what I would like to watch as the audience."  Notably, six of Kartik Aaryan's most recent seven releases were financially successful.

With its remarkable box office performance, the actor's most recent theatrical release, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, significantly contributed to the revival of Bollywood, which had been severely affected by the pandemic. The mega-project, which starred Kartik Aaryan, Tabu, and Kiara Advani, became the first hit from the Hindi film industry following the pandemic. 

Shehzada, the official remake of the Telugu blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramloo starring Allu Arjun, features the young star in the lead role. In Rohit Dhawan's eagerly anticipated movie, Kriti Sanon plays the female lead. Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Ronit Roy, Rajpal Yadav, Sachin Khedekar, and other A-list actors will be seen in supporting roles in Shehzada.
