For someone functioning on bare minimum sleep, Kartik Aaryan is surprisingly high on energy when we sit down at 10 am for a long chat in the rustic-looking terrace room of Imtiaz Ali's suburban office. "It's yet to sink in that I am the leading man of an Imtiaz Ali film," gushes Aaryan, who remembers watching Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone's Love Aaj Kal (2009) as a wide-eyed college boy in Mumbai.
Over a decade later, the actor finds himself reinventing the love story with Saif's daughter, Sara Ali Khan. The film could well be a sign that he has broken into the big league, but Aaryan is more ecstatic in the knowledge that he has earned an Ali film. "[After working with Ali], my thought process is completely different. I had never done such detailed research for any other film. Imtiaz sir and I sat down and delved into the back-stories of my characters [Veer and Raghu]. I went for body language classes; he taught me method acting for the first time in my career. Before this film, my expertise was comic timing. But Imtiaz sir has helped me go beyond it and widen my range."
