When
Kartik
Rejected
A
Film
Offer
Of
Rs
10
Crore
Speaking
to
the
tabloid,
Kartik
revealed,
"I
was
offered
Rs
10
crore
for
a
film
post
Sonu,
but
I
just
didn't
see
myself
in
it,
so
turned
it
down.
I
don't
need
money
right
now.
I
am
no
longer
in
a
place
where
I
desperately
need
money
to
survive.
Now,
money
and
glamour
are
by-products
of
what
I
do."
'Money
Was
Never
A
Priority,' Says
Kartik
"Money
was
never
a
priority.
Not
back
then,
not
now.
I
haven't
really
worked
for
money.
I
am
passionate
about
movies,
good
roles
and
scripts.
I
am
choosing
scripts
keeping
in
mind
a
good
mix
of
content
and
commercial
cinema.
I
am
a
diehard
massy
movie
buff.
I
want
to
be
seen
as
a
hero
of
the
masses
who
headlines
big
potboilers."
Kartik
On
Life
Post
The
Success
Of
Sonu
Ke
Titu
Ki
Sweety
"People
know
who
I
am.
Before
the
film,
they
knew
me
by
face
but
not
my
name.
I
am
no
longer
just
catering
to
the
youth.
Now,
taijis,
chachis
and
mummies
know
me."
'I
Strived
To
Become
A
Priority
For
Filmmakers'
He
further
added,
"For
the
first
time
in
eight
years,
I
have
the
option
of
choosing
from
a
variety
of
scripts.
I
no
longer
need
to
pick
up
just
about
anything
that
comes
my
way.
The
options
are
better
than
before.
I
strived
to
become
a
priority
for
filmmakers,
rather
than
an
option.
Sonu...
made
it
possible."
On
How
Hard
It
Is
To
Turn
Down
A
Role
"It's
an
art
to
learn
to
say
no.
When
someone
offers
you
a
role,
and
you
say
no,
it's
mostly
taken
as
an
offence.
No
one
looks
at
it
objectively
and
thinks,
may
be,
I
could
have
spoilt
their
film
by
being
a
misfit.
I
have
learnt
this
the
hard
way
that
there
are
ways
of
turning
down
offers.
And,
I
have
craved
to
get
a
single
movie
offer.
I
never
thought
I
would
come
to
this
point
where
I
have
to
plot
ways
to
say
no
without
getting
into
people's
bad
books.
I
am
aware
of
the
pros
and
cons
now."
