Kartik Aaryan has a bunch of new films in his kitty, but one of the anticipated films of the actor, which is considered by the trade expert is the remake of the Korean thriller 'The Terror Live', Hindi version 'Dhamaka'. Helmed by Ram Madhvani, the actor will kick-off the shooting from January 2021. Previously it was stated that Yami Gautam will play the lead role opposite Kartik but now it has been reported that the actress is replaced by Mrunal Thakur .

Well, the filmmaker has decided to go with Mrunal Thakur as Yami is quite busy with her other projects and also given the dates to her other upcoming films. So makers rather made the mind to cast Mrunal in the film. Mrunal Thakur was shooting for her sports drama film Jersey with Shahid Kapoor in Chandigarh and recently came back after the shoot got halted due to the Coronavirus pandemic in the city. Neetu Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Maniesh Paul and Kriti Sanon tested COVID positive who were there in the city for their respective film projects.


Kartik Aaryan has teamed up with Ram Madhvani (who is known for directing Neerja) for the first time for a remake. In the film, Kartik will play the role of a journalist. The Terror Live is a 2013 South Korean action thriller film written and directed by Kim Byung-woo. The film stars Ha Jung-woo as an ambitious news anchorman who monopolizes the live broadcast of a terrorist attack following the explosion of Mapo Bridge on the Han River, as the story unfolds within the narrow confines of a radio booth.

On the professional front, Kartik Aaryan was last seen in Imtiaz Ali's film 'Love Aaj Kal' (2020) opposite Sara Ali Khan, which failed at the box office. Now, he will be going to see next in Anees Bazmee's 'Bhool Bhulaiyya 2' opposite Kiara Advani and Collin D'Cunha's 'Dostana 2' along with Janhvi Kapoor and newcomer Laksh Lalwani. The actor would return to his shoot for horror-comedy 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' in February 2021.
