Not a die-hard fan of Kartik but I don't think anyone else could've carried Akki's legacy forward in Bhool Bhulaiya franchise. Karthik was apt for this role and I am actually happy for him.
As an actor, he obviously has a long way to go. But Bhool Bhulaiya's success should open new doors for him.
He is already being bracketed with other 'young' actors (like Ranveer/Ayushman/Varun/Shahid/Ranbir) who're all actually senior to him and have strong connections in the film industry (except Ayushman).
I hope Kartik works on imprđđźoving his craft first, and chooses the right scripts because that's really the key to success these days.
With Sushant gone, people are kind of having a soft corner for him right now. I hope he milks it in his favor and doesn't ruin it by becoming an entitled brat like Kangana.
Directors are also willing to take risk with him and trying new pairings with him. I mean he has already worked with Sara, Ananya, Kiara, Nushrat, Kriti Sanon, Kriti Kharbanda, Bhumi, Mrunal and Alaya F. đđź
Too bad Nushrat is facing tough competition, otherwise she and Kartik make an interesting onscreen pair. We haven't had a hit onscreen Jodi since Varun-Alia.
