After Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Kartik Aaryan wants to play Shah Rukh Khan's role in Baazigar

Actor Kartik Aaryan found instant stardom with his performance in the Pyaar Ka Punchnama franchise. The actor, who is relatively new to Bollywood, boasts an impressive fan following already. While Kartik played a hero in director Luv Ranjan's comic caper series, he opened up recently about how he would love to play an antagonist on screen.

Speaking at the recent Times of India Film Awards 2016 in Dubai, he said:

"If there is a remake of Baazigar, I would love to play a role like Shah Rukh sir. I would love to play an anti-hero. I feel that apart from comical roles, I should also explore romance, action, but slowly."

The actor, who lost out on the award for Best Actor in a Comic Role category at TOIFA to Deepak Dobriyal for Tanu Weds Manu Returns, said he was happy his performance made people laugh. When asked about his popularity, Kartik said:

"My fans mean everything to me. They are the ones who have made me what I am right now. I hope this fan following never stops. It is such a beautiful thing that I have got a fan following of men and female both and that too after an anti-love film."
