What Kartik said about his fees

Kartik Aaryan spoke about his fees in a new interview.

When asked if he charges ₹50 crore for a film, Kartik said, "Am I the only actor who has received such a price? Nobody writes about others. Everyone writes about me…."

Kartik doesn't have anyone to spread ‘positivity ’ about him

He was asked if his PR isn't connected with such stories. He said, "The thing is, I don’t have a spokesperson. I don’t have a family here. I don’t have my uncle, or my dad or my sister or my girlfriend spreading positivity about me in the articles or in the industry. This news is coming from somewhere else. It’s not necessary that this is needed. I don’t need this to prove anything. There are some who get irked by the fact that people make it on their own. And they try to make stories about that person a lot more."

The film, helmed by Sameer Vidwans, is set to hit theatres on February 13, 2026. The film, produced under the banner of Dharma Productions, is expected to be a romantic comedy, although the plot details are still under wraps.
