Kartik enjoys a good popularity among the young boys and girls especially. As Kartik celebrates his birthday today, here's looking at 5 movie milestones in his career that paved the way for him!

Right from his comic timing to his long monologue in both the parts of this franchise, Kartik found a relatability among the audience. He was always considered this young boy-next-door who was funny and approachable. The franchise made a strong impact in his career. So much so, that he was not accepted in a film like 'Akaash Vani' with Nushrratt Bharuccha again, as it was a slightly serious genre after 'PKP'. However, they did find equal success with the sequel of 'PKP'.

This was a real game changer for Kartik. Sonu Ke Titu..proved to be a sleeper hit at the box office and things changed for Kartik. He was loved as the friend who is scared to lose his best friend after he gets married. From his acting prowess to emotional moments in the song 'Tera Yaar Hoon Main' to his dancing skills, all of it got a lot of praise from everyone.

'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' was a huge hit at the box office and the film largely rested on Kartik's shoulders. This further helped him create a huge dent in the industry and keep his position strong. The film saw him alongside Tabu and Kiara Advani. Directed by Anees Bazmee, it was a huge challenge for Kartik to fit into Akshay Kumar's shoes if one may say and yet be successful at the box office. This success changed things for him, drastically.

After his pairing with Kiara was loved in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2', this pair was seen in an intense love story next.
