On Wednesday, August 17, Anupam Kher shared photos with Kartik Aaryan and called himself and the Dhamaka star 'superstars' for starring in The Kashmir Files and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 respectively, the Hindi films that have earned the maximum amount of money at the box office this year.
Along with the two pictures, Anupam wrote, "SUPERSTARS: Since the criteria of calling an actor (however good he/she is) a #SuperStar depends on the money their movies make, I am sharing with you all a pic of two SUPERSTARS. At least this year for me!"
Sharing the box office collection of their films, he continued, "My film #KashmirFiles made 350crores worldwide and @kartikaaryan’s #BhoolBhulaiyaa2 earned close to 250 crores. Time is changing and so is the audience's taste and the system. Who had ever imagined that a day will come, when my film like #KashmirFiles in the lead will do business of 350cr. It is a good churning! I welcome the change. Hope you all do too!".
