Well, the film had already crossed the 200 crore mark worldwide. Just a day back, anticipating the film crossing the 175 crore mark, Kartik Aaryan had posted, “Ab 175 vaali Smile surely aane vaali hai 😁 #JhoomRahaHoon 😂🙏🏻”
Reports had also been doing the rounds that the actor had hiked his fees after the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. However, not just the actor, but the producer- Bhushan Kumar- had also rubbished such rumours. Bhushan Kumar had also said in an interview with Pinkvilla that Kartik had helped them financially by not keeping too high a fees, which helped the makers spend more in making the film.
Kartik also has quite a few projects at hand, lined up for release. The actor recently wrapped up the shoot of Shehzada, which will co-star Kriti Sanon. It is the official remake of the Allu Arjun starrer, Ala Vainkunthapurramuloo. He also has Freddie and Satyanarayan Ki Katha in his kitty.
