It's
not
the
first
time
when
actor
Kartik
Aaryan
has
tasted
success,
but
the
way
his
latest
film
Dhamaka
is
being
praised
by
both
audience
and
critics,
is
something
that
Kartik
is
witnessing
for
the
first
time.
In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
an
entertainment
portal,
Kartik
spoke
about
how
he
is
looking
at
his
success
and
here's
what
the
actor
said...
"The
response
is
so
solid
that
I
am
just
amazed.
Recently,
I
took
a
flight
and
the
flight
crew
spoke
to
me
about
my
performance.
I
am
so
happy
to
hear
people's
response
towards
the
film
and
my
performance," said
Kartik.
He
further
added,
"People
are
saying
that
this
is
Kartik
2.0.
I
am
both
happy
and
overwhelmed.
It
was
a
conscious
decision
to
do
something
different.
The
day
I
did
my
first
script
reading,
I
was
blown
away
with
the
concept.
For
me,
Dhamaka
was
a
film
where
I
needed
to
give
my
best.
I
was
conscious
of
the
fact
that
I
was
doing
something
different."
It's
the
first
time
when
Kartik
played
a
grey
character
in
a
film.
When
asked
about
if
he
was
skeptical
about
to
play
such
character
in
the
beginning,
he
said
that
even
he
had
never
imagined
himself
playing
such
character.
But
the
actor
was
sure
that
his
fans
would
love
to
see
him
playing
such
different
character,
which
has
shades
of
grey.
"Out
of
comfort
zone
was
scary
but
I
knew
I
was
in
good
hands.
Appreciation
of
Dhamaka
has
really
validated
me
as
an
actor.
I
am
relieved
that
people
accepted
me
in
Arjun
Pathak's
role,"
added
Kartik.
