  2024  has escalated  Kartik Aaryan’s  fortunes radically. It was  by chance that  this writer  got to know about Kartik Aaryan’s radically  revised remuneration. A  high-profile filmmaker  let  out the  fiscal fact  unknowingly, “We are in the  final stages of negotiating with Kartik. He is  now charging 50 crores after  Bhool  Bhulaiya 2. And he  deserves it.He is as indispensable to  the Franchise as Salman Khan for Tiger.”

 Significantly  there is only one other actor  from Kartik’s generation to charge in the same range , and it’s Ranbir Kapoor who apparently  gets  55-60  crores.

 Comments trade analyst Atul Mohan, “If a producer or studio believes Kartik Aaryan at ₹50 crores is a viable choice for their project, they are free to proceed. No one enters a venture aiming for a loss. However, a lead actor commanding ₹50 crores means the project’s landing cost will likely exceed ₹150 crores. This requires the film to achieve a box office collection of at least ₹250–300 crores to be deemed a hit or semi-hit, which in turn impacts satellite and digital pricing. Ultimately, the pressure will always be on the film’s performance at the box office.

Speaking on  Kartik’s  emphatically enhanced payscale, trade  guru Taran Adarsh says, “It’s difficult to comment on the exact fee Kartik Aaryan charges post the massive success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Such financial agreements between actors and producers are typically kept confidential.That said, it’s an age-old trend in the industry for actors to hike their remuneration following a blockbuster. Kartik, having delivered impressive box-office numbers, is no exception.The film industry thrives on facts, figures, and the performance of the latest release. Kartik proved his mettle by standing tall against formidable competition like Singham Again and emerging victorious.”

   Taran  shoots  down any suggestion of Kartik over-charging. “If an actor quotes a fee and a producer agrees to pay it, there’s no reason for anyone to object. After all, it’s a matter of mutual agreement.Kartik Aaryan is currently enjoying a stellar phase in his career. The year 2024 has been a game-changer for him. While Chandu Champion showcased his talent as an actor of repute, even though it didn’t perform at the box office, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 catapulted him into the hearts of the masses.Kartik is not just an actor or a star anymore; he has evolved into a significant force in the industry. His journey to the top is a testament to his hard work and undeniable appeal.”

  Adds  producer and trade analyst Girish Johar,  “I believe team Kartik must have done some homework and planned this for a longer and  sustainable period. Further, knowing Kartik, I feel he is a very smart and  intelligent and a star on the rise. He  would plan his outings very meticulously for maximum benefit for all his parties concerned.”
