After making waves with his stellar performance in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Kartik Aaryan is ready to leave the horror genre behind and dive back into the world of romance. While fans were eagerly waiting for updates on Aashiqui 3, even if that project remains uncertain, director Anurag Basu is already set to bring Kartik back to the big screen with a romantic entertainer. But that’s not all — Kartik has landed another exciting project with yet another celebrated filmmaker.

The director in question is none other than Laxman Utekar, who recently delivered a ₹600-crore blockbuster, Chhaava. After conquering the historical genre, Laxman is now gearing up for an intense romantic drama, with Kartik playing the leading man.

A Big Break for Kartik Aaryan

According to Mid-Day, Laxman Utekar’s next film will feature a powerful romantic narrative — a departure from the lighthearted tone of his previous collaboration with Kartik, Luka Chuppi. The upcoming story promises to be emotionally rich and more intense. Considering the success of Kartik and Kriti Sanon’s chemistry in Luka Chuppi, excitement is high about a possible reunion. However, scheduling conflicts could pose a challenge.

Date Issues May Delay the Project

Both Kartik and Kriti are currently swamped with multiple projects. As a result, syncing their schedules might prove difficult. The final script for Utekar’s film is expected to be ready only after August, and the production will move forward once all timelines align. It’s worth mentioning that Kriti previously worked with Laxman Utekar on Mimi, a performance that won her a National Award.

Kartik and Kriti’s Busy Schedules

Kartik Aaryan is currently shooting alongside Srileela in Anurag Basu’s yet-to-be-titled romantic film. He also has Karan Johar’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri and the much-anticipated Naagzila in the pipeline. Meanwhile, Kriti Sanon is in talks for Tere Ishq Mein opposite Shahid Kapoor and Don 3 alongside Ranveer Singh.

As fans await official announcements, one thing’s clear — Kartik Aaryan is all set to rule hearts again with not one, but two grand romantic dramas.
