Kartik Aaryan has frequently played Delhi-bred characters. In the upcoming comedy Luka Chuppi, Aaryan shifts gears to play a journalist from Mathura. “For the first time I play a small-town guy, and for the first time I am not playing a Delhi chap,” Aaryan told Scroll.in.
Directed by Laxman Utekar and written by Rohan Shankar, Luka Chuppi is a comedy in which Guddu Sharma (Aaryan) and Rashmi Trivedi (Kriti Sanon) pretend to be married so that they can live together. It’s all going well until their respective parents land up, forcing them to pose as husband and wife. “The film’s main element centers on the family, and it is a character-driven film,” Aaryan said.
Luka Chuppi, which also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Vinay Pathak and Aparshakti Khurana, has been produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, and will be released on March 1.
Aaryan described his character as an “innocent guy” who “does only proper things”. He added, “But he often gets caught in situations, which creates a comedy of errors. It’s a complete package. I got to work with so many great actors that my acting only got better.”
Playing Guddu also required the actor to work with a new kind of speech. “While he converses in Hindi, Guddu has his own dialect, for which I trained with my coach Pankaj.”
Playing Guddu was a change for Aaryan in more ways than one. He got his break for portraying the sharp-tongued and misanthropic Rajat in Luv Ranjan’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011). The sleeper hit about relationships struck a chord, and Rajat’s five-minute rant about women remains popular.
