‘Would love to do Pyaar Ka Punchnama 3’

He has been a part of both the installments of Pyaar Ka Punchnama and actor Kartik Aaryan says he would love to have another film in the popular buddy -comedy franchise.

Kartik made his debut with Luv Ranjan’s sleeper hit in 2011 and also starred in its sequel, which released on October 16 this year.

“Definitely, I would love to have a part three. But not right now. Even the second part took some time to come. They have to work on the writing and make sure it is better than the previous two. “Pyaar Ka Punchnama is a universal concept. You can use different set of characters and put them in a situation like this again and again. But the content has to be good and different,” Kartik told  a media person. While the 26-year-old actor played submissive Rajat in the first movie, he was seen as a more opinionated character, Gogo in the sequel. Kartik is “overwhelmed” by the response of the film and says he was under a “lot of pressure” to outdo his previous outing. “I was under a lot of pressure. The first film is a cult and we knew we had to surpass that. But thankfully, we had a strong content and a good film. We were aware about the comparisons.

“We didn’t want fans to say ‘Oh this was not better than the first film.’ We wanted them to love this as much as they loved the first one.” Pyaar Ka Punchnama is best known for its seven-minute-long hilarious monologue in which Kartik’s character vented out the frustration of every guy in a relationship. A similar and much-longer monologue from the sequel has now gone viral and the actor says he is happy. “The current monologue went viral and has got standing ovation. It took me almost six days, five sleepless nights and seven-eight takes to get it right.”
