Kartik Aaryan meets Darren Aronofsky, director hints at a collab
"Should we announce our collab here? – Darren Aronofsky"

Mumbai, Dec 10

Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan, who is currently at the Red Sea Film Festival, met the legendary filmmaker Darren Aronofsky.

On Wednesday, Kartik took to his Instagram, and shared a video featuring himself with the filmmaker. In the video, the two could be seen sharing fun moments over “a cup of chai”.

In the video, Darren said, “My old friend Karthik, we want to say hello to all of his fans. You know, I've been to India a few times. And one of my favorite actors is right here. I think he's going to be a big star in India. In America, we're big fan. I think India will learn from us soon”.

He then asked the actor, “You're going to bring me to India?” To which Kartik said, “I’m going to bring you to India”.

The filmmaker went on to ask Kartik, “What type of movie (we should work on)”.

Kartik replied, “I think we need a song and dance. I want to do a commercial movie with you”.

Darren said, “Just a random guy on the street. Honored to know you”.

Kartik wrote in the caption, “Aaryanofsky Brothers”.

Darren took to the comments section of the post, and wrote, “Should we announce our collab here?”.

Darren Aronofsky is known for his intense, psychologically driven storytelling and visually stylized approach. His breakout came with ‘Requiem for a Dream’, praised for its raw portrayal of addiction. Aronofsky continued exploring extreme emotional states in films like ‘The Wrestler’, ‘Black Swan’, and ‘Mother’, often blending realism with surreal, symbolic imagery.

His work is marked by bold editing, immersive sound design, and visceral performances. Aronofsky remains one of contemporary cinema’s most provocative and distinctive directors.

Earlier, Kartik clicked a fun selfie with Hollywood star Johnny Depp. The actor took to Instagram, where he shared a photo. In the picture, the Bollywood actor is seen sporting a casual look with his signature mischievous expression, while Depp, looked dapper donning his iconic beanie and sunglasses.

"A cup of chai" bringing together Hollywood and Bollywood! Love it. Kartik's rise is inspiring. From "Pyaar Ka Punchnama" to potentially working with Aronofsky - what a journey! 🇮🇳✨

Respectfully, I think Kartik might be getting ahead of himself. Aronofsky makes psychological dramas, not "song and dance" commercial movies. This feels more like a PR moment than a real collaboration. Let's see if anything concrete materializes.

First Johnny Depp, now Darren Aronofsky! Kartik is networking like a boss at these international festivals. This is how our actors should build bridges. More power to him! 🙌

"India will learn from us soon" - Sir, with all respect, Indian cinema has its own rich storytelling history that the world is already learning from. A collaboration should be a two-way exchange. Jai Hind!

Aaryanofsky Brothers 😂 Kartik has a great sense of humour. Imagine a Black Swan style thriller set in the world of classical Indian dance? That could actually be brilliant!
