In
one
of
his
interviews
during
the
promotions
of
Love
Aaj
Kal,
director
Imtiaz
Ali
drew
an
analogy
between
Kartik
Aaryan
and
Shah
Rukh
Khan.
The
filmmaker
said
that
both,
Kartik
and
King
Khan
are
extremely
dedicated
when
it
comes
to
their
craft.
The
former
too,
had
frequently
said
in
various
interviews
that
he
feels
his
Bollywood
journey
is
similar
to
that
of
King
Khan.
Recently
while
speaking
with
Bollywood
Life,
Kartik
reacted
to
Imtiaz
Ali's
statement
where
he
compared
him
with
the
'Baadshah
Of
Bollywood'.
The
Love
Aaj
Kal
actor
was
quoted
as
saying
by
the
entertainment
portal,
"I
think
it's
a
huge
compliment
to
come
from
Imtiaz
Ali
sir,
who
has
actually
worked
with
Shah
Rukh
Khan
sir.
He
saying
something
like
this
is
huge
for
me.
I'm
really,
really
happy."
He
further
continued,
"To
be
honest,
I
can't
really
compare
myself
or
say
anything
about
it
because
Shah
Rukh
sir
is
the
biggest
superstar
and
someone
who's
actually
the
'King
of
Romance',
but
even
if
a
miniscule
comparison
of
1%
is
possible
with
him,
then
it's
a
massive
compliment
for
me."
Kartik
added,
"I
hope
that
I
can
display
even
1/10th
of
the
romance
in
Love
Aaj
Kal
that
Shah
Rukh
Khan
sir
has
shown
in
his
films
till
now,
which
will
be
a
huge
thing
for
me.
So,
I
thank
Imitaz
sir
who
has
really
believed
in
me
and
given
me
this
opportunity
to
play
two
characters
who
are
romancing
on
screen,
and
showing
that
much
amount
of
intensity
and
love,
required
in
a
romantic
film.
I'm
just
glad
he
chose
me
for
that."
Love
Aaj
Kal
also
stars
Sara
Ali
Khan
and
Aarushi
Sharma.
The
film
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatrical
screens
on
February
14,
2020.
Apart
from
this
film,
Kartik
Aaryan's
upcoming
releases
include
Bhool
Bhulaiyya
2,
Dostana
2
and
an

film
with
Tanhaji
