Kartik took to social media to share his first look poster, writing, “Dr Freddy Ginwala.

Freddy is the first of Kartik’s upcoming releases. The film also stars Alaya F. He will then be seen in Shehzada opposite Kriti Sanon. The Rohit Dhawan film will release in February next year and is the official Hindi remake of Allu Arjun’s Telugu blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. Kartik also has Satya Prem Ki Katha oppsite Kiara Advani in the pipeline. He has also been cast in Aashiqui 3.

Unlike much of Bollywood, Kartik has had a pretty good 2022. His film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was a sleeper hit and is one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year. As per many trade pundits, the film's success has raised Kartik’s stature as a leading man in the industry.
