Is Kartik Aaryan the face of franchise films? Well, stats and producers seem to be betting on him. With the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and two films in his kitty, it seems like the actor is set to form a strong bond with sequels

Kartik Aaryan
Kartik Aaryan scored his biggest box office success with his latest film `Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3`. The success of the film gave him his first Rs 200 crore film as well. He joined the `Bhool Bhulaiyaa` universe with its second part which was released in 2022 right after the pandemic. The film was a smash hit at the box office and audiences wholeheartedly welcomed Kartik as Rooh baba despite an initial reluctance of him replacing Akshay Kumar. The actor who has now become a bankable box office favourite has two franchise films in his kitty- Anurag Basu`s Aashiqui 3 and Pati Patni Aur Woh 2. While one will see Kartik as the new face, the other will see him return to the franchise.
Kartik Aaryan`s claim to fame was also with the success of the `Pyaar Ka Punchnama` franchise directed by Luv Ranjan. The films made him popular among the youth and also earned him the title of the monologue boy. Both films, had him play the role of a man who is tired of dealing with his girlfriend and his frustration coming out as a monologue explaining relationship problems.
