Kartik Aaryan’s last film Love Aaj Kal was commercially a disappointment but the actor seems to have found the satisfaction while working in the film with the maverick filmmaker that he didn’t find before.
The 29-years-old took to Twitter and wrote a heartfelt letter for his director in which he called the experience of working in Love Aaj Kal enlightening, enriching and dreamlike. He also called the filmmaker a ‘Jaadugar’.
Kartik Aaryan wrote, “When you first dream of being in films, you act in front of the mirror and nail it every time, and the world of movies seems magical. Then you get a movie. You see the camera and are unnerved. It’s bigger than the suitcase you brought to Mumbai. The bright lights seem to be scolding you for not landing on a one-inch tape mark and wasting everyone’s time. The first few years become about trying not to look nervous. Then you get an Imtiaz Ali movie. The moment he narrates the story, you are pulled into a dream. I don’t even remember seeing the camera on his set, he’d always be standing wherever I looked after cut. He was never at the monitor, he was by my side. The lights on Imtiaz Ali’s set help you find those tape marks.”
