For those who thought Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety's success was nothing more than a stroke of luck, Kartik Aaryan — with Luka Chuppi — has proven that he has earned his place in the spotlight. His latest release has witnessed the actor's highest opening numbers so far and is racing towards the Rs 50-crore mark.

Currently shooting in Delhi for Imtiaz Ali's next with Sara Ali Khan, Aaryan tells mid-day that the euphoria is yet to sink in. "It feels great that after Sonu..., Luka Chuppi too has worked at the box office. More than the numbers, I wanted to break the mould as an actor. I wanted to go beyond my bromantic image and do something new with this film. It was earlier called Mathura Live, and the script was so strong that I was bowled over in the first narration itself. Laxman sir [Utekar, director] and Rohan [Shankar, writer] made a hilarious product."
