Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon At Trailer Launch Of Film 'Luka Chuppi'

Posted On: 06 February 2019

Kartik Aaryan rose to fame playing sharp-tongued know-it-all characters in the Pyaar Ka Punchnama franchise and the 2018 hit Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, but in his latest film, Luka Chuppi, the actor is going against type. “This is the sweetest character I have played,” the actor said at film’s trailer launch event in Mumbai on Thursday. “He is not even a little street smart.” Directed by Laxman Utekar, Luka Chuppi follows a young couple (played by Kriti Sanon and Aaryan) in Mathura who decide to pretend that they are married so that they can live together. Their plans go awry when their relatives land up at their home. “In our culture, it is all about loving your family and usually everyone in the family wants to know what everyone is up to,” producer Dinesh Vijan said at the event. “When this couple hides something from their family, a comedy of errors follow.” Sanon, who was last seen in Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017), described the film as a situational comedy. “It is very difficult to make someone laugh,” Sanon said. “But in our film the comedy is very situational. We are only reacting in most scenes. We enjoyed so much that you will see it on screen hopefully.” Meanwhile, Aaryan, whose comedic skills have been well-received, is keen to try diverse genres. “I started getting a lot of comedy roles especially after Pyaar Ka Punchnama,” he said. “While I enjoy doing comedy, I am looking forward to starring in serious films in different characters. I would love to do an anti-hero role.”
