Kartik Aaryan Opens Up On Bollywood’s Insider-Outsider Debate, Says It’s Good For Budding Artists

Mumbai: Ahead of the release of ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’, Kartik Aaryan opened up on Bollywood’s insider-outsider debate, saying it is good for budding artists.

Emphasising on how talented individuals often don’t get opportunities, and give up because of struggle and failure, Kartik told Filmfare, “If this debate didn’t exist, people wouldn’t understand the struggle of outsiders. When a big filmmaker launches someone, they begin from a much higher level. Outsiders don’t have money, perception or access.

He shared that he has seen “people come from outside and go back because it just didn’t happen for them.”

Kartik made his Bollywood debut with ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ in 2011. He has thereafter featured in ‘Akaash Vani’, ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2’, ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’, ‘Luka Chuppi’, ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’, ‘Love Aaj Kal’, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, ‘Shehzada’, ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’, ‘Chandu Champion’, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, among others.

The actor will next be seen in ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’, which also stars Ananya Panday, Jackie Shroff and Neena Gupta.

The film, produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Shareen Mantri Kedia, and Kishor Arora, will hit theatres on December 25.

He will also be seen in ‘Naagzilla’, directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, as well as Anurag Basu’s yet-to-be-titled film with Sreeleela.
