Shraddha Kapoor to star opposite Kartik Aaryan in Satyanarayan Ki Katha?

Kartik Aaryan will be seen in Sajid Nadiadwala’s production venture Satyanarayan Ki Katha which will be directed by Sameer Vidwans. The film is a musical love saga, but the makers have not yet announced which actress will be seen opposite Kartik in the film.

However, now, according to a report in Bollywood Hungama, Shraddha Kapoor will be seen romancing Kartik in Satyanarayan Ki Katha.


A source told the portal, "Sajid Nadiadwala has already bounced the idea to his in-house favourite Shraddha Kapoor and she has absolutely loved it. In fact, she has also agreed to be a part of the film. But it's all verbal at this point and a contractual agreement is currently not in place. Shraddha seems like a perfect choice because the new pairing will also add freshness to the script. Kartik and Shraddha will look extremely good together and although it's Kartik's story majorly, Shraddha has a very important part to play in it as well."

Well, it will surely be interesting to watch Shraddha and Kartik on the big screen together.

Talking about other films of Shraddha, the actress will be seen in movies like Luv Ranjan’s next with Ranbir Kapoor, Naagin, and Chaalbaaz in London.

Meanwhile, Kartik has Dhamaka and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 lined up. The former will be getting a direct-to-digital release on Netflix, and the latter is slated to hit the big screens in November this year.

How Southeast Asian storytelling became one of Netflix’s fastest-growing global pillars

Highlights:

  • Netflix says global viewing of Southeast Asian titles rose almost 50% between 2023 and 2024.
  • Premium VOD revenue in the region reached £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore) last year, with 53.6 million subscriptions.
  • Netflix holds more than half of the region’s total viewing and remains its biggest investor in originals.
  • New rivals, including Max, Viu and Vidio, are forcing sharper competition.
  • Local jobs, training and tourism are increasing as productions expand across the region.

Last year, something shifted in what the world watched. Global viewership of Southeast Asian content on Netflix grew by nearly 50%, and this isn't just a corporate milestone; it’s a signal. Stories from Jakarta, Bangkok, and Manila are no longer regional curiosities. They are now part of the global mainstream.

The numbers tell a clear story. Over 100 Southeast Asian titles have now entered Netflix’s Global Top 10 lists. More than 40 of those broke through in 2024 alone. This surge is part of a bigger boom in the region’s own backyard. The total premium video-on-demand market in Southeast Asia saw viewership hit 440 billion minutes in 2024, with revenues up 14% to £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore). Netflix commands over half of that viewership and 42% of the revenue. They have a clear lead, but the entire market is rising.
