Though Kaachi did not impress at the box office, the fact that a veteran director cast him for only his third film is a notable feat of sorts. Ghai recently shared an anecdote around that time, with a throwback picture of his birthday bash in 2015. The filmmaker’s photo featured himself with Kartik, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. The Taal director recalled how he had seen dreams in Kartik Aaryan’s eyes to work hard and become a superstar like the Khans. Cut to present, Ghai was proud of his Kaanchi actor for catching the ‘ladder of success’ and gave him blessings for the future.
