Action-adventure for the masses 

Actor Kartik Aaryan may have faced a box-office setback with Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (2025), but the actor continues to attract promising projects. According to Bollywood Hungama, the actor is in advanced talks with Kill (2023) director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat for an action-adventure rooted in Indian mythology. A source said, “Kartik has been excited about this film as the subject is commercial, novel, and has the potential to resonate with the masses.” The source added that discussions are at an “advanced stage”. Meanwhile, Kartik is gearing up for his 2026 releases, including Naagzilla: Naag Lok Ka Pehla Kaand and an untitled musical directed by Anurag Basu.
