Kartik Aaryan set social media buzzing on Wednesday when he unexpectedly shared a delightful video with acclaimed Hollywood director Darren Aronofsky. The duo appeared to have met in Abu Dhabi, where Kartik has been attending a series of international events, and their cheerful banter instantly sent fans into speculation mode about a potential collaboration.
The video opened with Darren greeting Kartik’s followers warmly, “Hi, my old friend Kartik… We’re hanging out together.” Kartik smiled beside him as the director went on to express his affection for India, calling Kartik his “favourite actor.” Their friendly exchange continued over cups of chai, with Darren joking that Kartik would be a “big star in America,” before correcting himself and saying India would “soon learn to love him.” Kartik burst into laughter, replying, “Thank you for ruining my day.”
Their light-hearted chat then shifted to filmmaking. When Darren asked if Kartik would bring him to India for a movie preferably one with “song and dance” Kartik immediately agreed, suggesting a commercial entertainer. Darren wrapped the moment with a warm, “An honour to know you.”
Just when fans thought the video was over, it cut to a hilarious scene of Kartik, Darren, and a woman doing push-ups together on the floor. Kartik captioned the video “Aaryanofsky Brothers,” while Darren added fuel to the fire by commenting, “Should we announce our collab here?”
Kartik’s Abu Dhabi trip has been full of surprises. Just a day earlier, he posted a picture with Johnny Depp, writing, “Pirates of the Red Sea. JackSparrow x RoohBaba,” making his international interactions the talk of the town.
