After his last film, Love Aaj Kal, received a lukewarm response from the audience, Kartik Aaryan is now gearing up for his next, Dhamaka, which seems to feature the star in a more serious role. Speaking about the film, among other things, Kartik Aaryan tells us why his 'lover boy image' is a privilege that he will never give up.

In a chat with ETimes, Kartik shares, "Dhamaka is going to be a pleasant surprise for everyone. Yes, it's a thriller, but it's so much more. It keeps you on the edge throughout and talks about so many relevant things that are going on in our society right now. It's my most commercial film yet."
