Reacting to the new look, a fan commented: “He looks so handsome!” A comment read, “Can't wait to see his next film with this new look.” “Hope Kartik smiles more! He looks good with long hair.”

About his new look

Is this look for Anurag Basu's upcoming untitled epic musical love story? The actor had already begun filming for the project last year in September, but has remained tight-lipped about his role or the story of the film. It also stars Tripti Dimrii. It will be the second film together for Kartik and Triptii.

Kartik recently scored a box office hit with Anees Bazmee's horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. He reprised his role of ghostbuster Rooh Baba from the 2022 blockbuster sequel. Also starring Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan, Triptii Dimri, and Rajpal Yadav, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 earned over ₹250 crore at the Indian box office. The film premiered on Netflix on December 27.

Last week, Kartik also announced that he will lead the upcoming film produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, titled Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.
