QIt is tough for outsiders to make it in Bollywood.

I would like to give a message to all: don’t lose hope. I have always been working hard. Even now I try to improve on my shortcomin­gs. A lot of people, when we come to work specifical­ly in Bollywood to gain fame and name, lose hope soon, thinking we will not get an opportunit­y. It’s not so. If I can get a chance many others can also get. There have been a many outsiders who have entered this

Bollywood industry and have made a huge name for themselves. I remember during my struggling time we lived with 12 boys. It was a P.G accommodat­ion.

Losing hope a few returned back. This could have happened to me as well. But my parents taught me to never leave your aim in between.

QHow

do you cope when work slips out of your hands?

Sometimes it’s a blessing and at times you lose. The industry is going through a good phase. If* you are talented you will get work. Especially now with OTT streaming, every production house is announcing one slate after the other. Many people’s dreams are getting fulfilled.

QBB 2 is clashing with Kangana’s film Dhaakad.

Both the films look fabulous and are of different genres. I watched the trailer of Dhaakad and liked it. I wish both the films work at the box office.

QUsually male driven films do well at the BO. Dhaakad is a female driven film. How do you look at this?

Gangubai was a fully female driven film and did well. Many male driven films didn’t do well. So, it’s not about who’s driving the film but whether the film is good or not. Good films are running at the B.O.

QBB2

I would like to give a message to all: don’t lose hope. I have always been working hard. Even now I try to improve on my shortcomin­gs — Kartik Aaryan

is a new genre for you. Yes. Specifical­ly, this is a horror genre mixed with comedy. At times the film takes a turn towards drama and all of a sudden it turns into comedy. The trailer has received a humongous response. I have done comedy earlier but this is a completely different genre. .

QWill the film be compared to Akshay Kumar’s BB1?

BB2 is a new story and a new sequel. The characters are all new barring one or two.
