At the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia, Kartik Aaryan represented India on the global stage, interacting with audiences and industry figures from around the world. Recently, his picture
with Hollywood star Johnny Depp went viral. Meanwhile, several videos from his conversation at the Red Sea International Film Festival have surfaced on social media. In the Session, Kartik shared that he had initially turned down Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise.
Kartik Aaryan Admits He First Rejected Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Offer
Kartik Aaryan revealed he first rejected Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, as he wasn’t keen on the project. Back then, it was just a sequel concept without a story. “When the film first came to me, there was no story- just a sequel idea. I wasn’t keen. But Bhushan (Kumar) sir convinced me, we worked on it, and everything changed. Today, wherever I go, kids call me Rooh Baba. I’m glad I eventually did it,” he said.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and its follow-up Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, became career-defining milestones for Kartik, especially as BB2 emerged as one of Bollywood’s biggest theatrical blockbusters post-Covid. Kartik Aaryan plays a fraud psychic Roih Baba in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which also starred Kiara Advani and Tabu. The film, directed by Anees Bazmee, released in theatres in May 2022. After this, Kartik also starred in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, co-starring Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri. It was released in 2024.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 Update
Meanwhile, last month, Anees Bazmee confirmed Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 with Kartik Aaryan. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the director shared that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 4 is officially in development. “Most definitely. It is a work in progress. The love that the series has accrued over the years is unsurpassable. So yeah, it is happening. The only factor that I can confirm is Kartik,” Anees said.
Kartik Aaryan’s Upcoming Film
Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan will next be seen in Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, alongside Ananya Panday.

The project is produced by Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures, with support from Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Shareen Mantri Kedia, Kishor Arora, and Bhumika Tewari. Releasing on Christmas Eve, the film aims to offer audiences a light-hearted, feel-good romantic experience.
