The post included posters of his two major releases from the year, 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' and 'Chandu Champion'.
The horror-comedy 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' emerged as Kartik's career-defining hit, grossing over Rs 400 crores globally despite a box office clash with Ajay Devgn's 'Singham Again'.
In contrast, 'Chandu Champion', where Kartik portrayed Paralympic champion Murlikant Petkar, received critical acclaim for its storytelling and Kartik's performance.
While the film underperformed at the box office, its success on OTT platforms and recognition at international award ceremonies, including an IFFM award, underscored its impact.
Looking ahead, Kartik is gearing up for his next venture, 'Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri', directed by Sameer Vidwans and produced by Dharma Productions.
The film, set to release in 2026, promises to be a delightful romantic comedy. In a teaser announcement shared on Instagram, Kartik humorously narrated the story of his character's failed relationships, writing, "Mummy ki khaayi hui kasam, yeh Mumma's boy poori karke he rehta hai!"
Additionally, Kartik is collaborating with acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Basu on another untitled project.
