Following this, Kartik justified his fee and explained, "Sir yeh kiya tha corona ke time pe, par kya mein aise dicuss kar sakta hoon apni fees, mujhe nahi pata. Par haan woh ek film (Dhamaka) aise bani aur dus din ka shoot tha uska. Woh mera remuneration tha aur main dus din mein kya, bees din mein paise double kar deta hoon apne producers ke, toh banta hai (Yes, during the Covid-19 pandemic I had shot for the film for 10 days and that was my remuneration. I make my producers earn double the money in 20 days, so I think I deserve what I am paid)."

The actor also stated, "I have always seen myself as no. 1, slowly people are also getting to know that and are seeing me like that. But the audience's love is what matters the most to me. I am desperate for their love and only for that am I obsessed with myself and want to give hit films… there's only one Shehzada (prince) in the film industry."

On the work front, Kartik is currently gearing up for the release of 'Shehzada' co-starring Kriti Sanon in the lead. The film is all set to hit the theatres on February 10, 2023. The actor also has Hansal Mehta's 'Captain India', 'SatyaPrem Ki Katha', 'Aashiqui 3' and 'Hera Pheri 3' in his pipeline.
