Kartik Aaryan is poised to star alongside Sreeleela in Anurag Basu's forthcoming musical drama, which has yet to be titled. Nevertheless, his long hair and beard have faced some backlash. On Reddit, users have likened his appearance to that of singer Himesh Reshammiya, humorously suggesting that his new film could be a biopic about the artist.

Reddit draws a comparison between Kartik Aaryan and Himesh Reshammiya's looks

A Reddit user posted an image showcasing Himesh's appearance from his latest film, Badass Ravikumar, alongside Kartik's look from his forthcoming project with Sreeleela. The user commented, "Aashiqui 3 is a biopic about Himesh Reshammiya; those who oppose this will disagree." Numerous individuals concurred with the statement and expressed disapproval of Kartik's appearance.

A Reddit user humorously remarked, "Kartik Aaryan portraying Himesh Reshammiya, and Sreeleela as Ranu Mondal." Another user added, "Is Tan Tan Tandoori Nights included? No Himesh biopic would be complete without that classic." A further comment stated, "I genuinely believed it was Himesh the whole time!!!!!"

Critiquing Kartik's long hair and thick beard, one individual expressed, "Following Ranbir in Animal, numerous actors have adopted this style. Himesh in Ravi Kumar, Varun in Baby John, Kartik in A3, and Tiger has imitated that other look in Baaghi 4. It's absurd." Another commenter questioned, "What is it with Indian cinema and men's hairstyles?… Honestly, it's no surprise that the rest of the world seems to dislike us." Additionally, another user mentioned, "This may be off-topic, but I have very high expectations for Aashiqui 3. Kartik’s appearance appears excessively dramatic, troubled, and toxic."
