KARTIK’S STREAK OF PARTY CHARTBUSTE­RS CONTINUES WITH CHARACTER DHEELA 2.0

-

The year 2022 proved to be an unconventi­onal superhit year for Kartik Aaryan, and 2023 has begun with a bang for the young superstar! His track Character Dheela 2.0 from the mass entertaine­r Shehzada has already been declared the party anthem of the year.

This isn’t the first time that Kartik has dropped a song that found a place in party playlists almost instantly. When he drops a track, his fans always wait for that one quirky hook step that they can immediatel­y recreate.

For his latest, he has teamed up again with choreograp­her duo Bosco Caesar. And this time, Kartik has not one, but three hooksteps for the audiences to recreate — The Shady Step, The T-shirt Step and The Slider Step.

Be it Bom Diggy (Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety; 2018), Coca Cola (Luka Chuppi; 2019), Dheeme Dheeme (Pati Patni Aur Woh; both 2019), the title track of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Kaala Jaadu (Freddy; 2022) or Character Dheela 2.0, Kartik has set a benchmark for party numbers and fun, unique hook steps, cementing his position as one of Bollywood’s best dancers.

In Character Dheela 2.0, the actor has created some neverseen-before visuals. While other actors would have opted for alcohol bottles as props to increase the cool quotient of a party number, Kartik, with his swag, is seen partying with milk bottles — which left internet users in awe and admiration. Only this young superstar could pull this off!

The song amassed a recordbrea­king 50 million views in just 24 hours, becoming the most-watched video worldwide in one day across platforms. The young actor also went pub-hopping across Mumbai to promote the song, sending the crowds there into a frenzy.

On the success of the song, Kartik says, “I am so glad that people are loving Character Dheela 2.0 and enjoying it so much. It was really overwhelmi­ng to see how the song picked up in no time; some people were already teaching dance choreograp­hies on it by the evening of the day it dropped! I am really excited to see the audiences have fun with it, especially with the hook steps. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did shooting it.”
