Kartik Aaryan often finds himself compared to actor Akshay Kumar, and the duo is known for their shared connection with the ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ franchise. The original film featured Akshay in the lead role, while ‘
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2
’ and ‘
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3
’ are led by Kartik. The actor has now reacted to being compared with Akshay.
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Kartik opened up about these comparisons, calling himself a fan of Akshay.
“I have always been a huge fan of Akshay. I don’t see myself on the same level as him. I’ve watched him since I was a child, so it feels a bit strange to be compared to him,” he stated. He believes that these comparisons started with ‘
Bhool Bhulaiyaa
2.’ He feels that if they do a comedy film together, it can entertain the audience even more.
