The unexpected meet quickly turned into one of the festival's most viral highlights, with fans already flooding the comment section with amazed reactions. One wrote, "NOOOO WAYY WAIT A FREAKIN MINUTE," while another added, "Wait What!!! Captain Jack Sparrow and Rooh Baba together!!"

"That is what the selfie of the year looks like," a third comment read.

At a time when Kartik Aaryan's 'Rooh Baba' image continues to follow him internationally, the actor also revealed how he initially rejected the 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' franchise.

Speaking at the Red Sea International Film Festival, he shared, "When the film first came to me, there was no story -- just a sequel idea. I wasn't keen. But Bhushan (Kumar) sir convinced me, we worked on it, and everything changed. Today, wherever I go, kids call me Rooh Baba. I'm glad I eventually did it," as per a press release.

Featuring Kartik Aaryan in the lead role, the second and third 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' instalments turned out to become defining milestones for the actor's career, with the second film even emerging as Bollywood's biggest theatrical blockbusters post-COVID.

Kartik was also honoured with the prestigious Best Actor (Male) award for his remarkable performance as Rooh Baba in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3'.

On the work front, the actor has an exciting slate of releases in the pipeline, including 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri', 'Naagzilla', and another film with Sreeleela. (ANI)
