Kartik Aaryan Eyes Cocktail 2, In talks for Luka Chuppi 2 with Dinesh Vijan Post Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Success

After the resounding success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Kartik Aaryan is looking to expand his filmography and solidify his position as one of Bollywood's leading stars. The actor has reportedly been in discussions with several filmmakers about potential projects, sparking excitement among fans.

According to sources, Kartik recently met with director-producer Dinesh Vijan at the Maddock Films office to explore possible collaborations. Among the topics discussed were sequels to two popular films—Cocktail and Luka Chuppi.

A source quoted by a leading media portal revealed, “Kartik specifically asked Dinesh about the possibility of Cocktail 2, as he is a huge fan of the original, particularly Deepika Padukone's character.” The conversation reportedly ended on an open-ended note, with both expressing enthusiasm about collaborating in the future. “Dinesh Vijan is also excited to partner with Kartik Aaryan, after the success he has achieved through his own efforts with the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise,” the source added.

Kartik’s interest in reprising his role from the heartland comedy-drama Luka Chuppi, which also starred Kriti Sanon, was another highlight of the discussion. The source noted, “Luka Chuppi is a big hit, and they have also given thought to Luka Chuppi 2. We will get a clear idea in the next month, but both Dinesh Vijan and Kartik Aaryan are very keen to partner and take forward a franchise, as Bhool Bhulaiyaa has proved how strong a combo—franchise + Kartik—is in the modern world.”

Currently, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is still running in theaters and has surpassed Singham Again at the box office. This success has further cemented Kartik’s reputation as a reliable crowd-puller and a key driver of franchises in Bollywood.

The actor, aware of his growing influence in the commercial space, appears to be strategically planning his next moves. With talks of Cocktail 2 and Luka Chuppi 2 gaining momentum, Kartik’s potential collaborations with Dinesh Vijan have already generated significant buzz, leaving fans eager to see what’s next.
