National Film Award winning actor Kartik Aryan, who became a superstar in Bollywood without any film background on the basis of his hard work, dedication and strong acting, is once again in the headlines. According to the latest news from the entertainment world that came out on Friday, November 13, 2026, Kartik Aryan recently attended the grand premiere ceremony of the much talked about American biographical drama film ‘I Play Rocky’ as a special guest. On this special occasion, Kartik Aryan, along with his charming style, gave a very motivational and emotional speech about his personal life’s struggle, big dreams, inspiration and determination, which attracted the attention of everyone present there.
Expressing his enthusiasm and attachment towards the film, Kartik Aryan said about ‘I Play Rocky’ that this film will make one feel a direct emotional connect with all those common and hardworking people, who at some point in life have been discouraged by the society or the people around them by saying that their big ambitions can never be fulfilled. These words of Karthik, who himself came to Mumbai from Gwalior and made his own identity in Mayanagari, connected the theme of the film with the journey of his real life.
While addressing the media and audience from the stage of the premiere, Kartik Aryan expressed his views in very emotional but confident words. He said, “This film is about all those people who dream big and believe unwaveringly in their dreams. It is the story of every person who is often told that it can’t be done, that you can never become this or that you will never become this. I firmly believe that this film will give you a deep belief that you can do it and achieve every dream of yours, no matter what obstacles come in the way.”
Experts of the cinema world believe that this statement of Karthik Aryan is no less than an inspiration for today’s youth. The way Karthik has achieved the top position despite facing many rejections in the initial days as an outsider in Bollywood, is itself a proof that even the impossible can be made possible with confidence and continuous efforts.
Comparing the original ‘Rocky’ and ‘I Play Rocky’ from his personal film journey, Kartik Aryan explains how Sylvester Stallone’s iconic film ‘Rocky’ has continued to inspire generations across the world for decades. During this, Karthik also shared a very interesting and personal secret of his life. He told that whenever he feels sad or disappointed at any point in his life or career, he takes the help of music and listens to a particular song.
Kartik Aryan revealed, “There have been many such difficult times in my journey so far that whenever I feel sad, the iconic song of the year 1982 ‘Eye of the Tiger’ (Eye of the Tiger Song 1982) is a song which works for me like the theme song of my life and inspires me a lot from within. After listening to this 44 year old song, I divert my attention from all the other negative things and worries and move towards a new world. I start working towards my dreams again with energy.”
At the end of his speech, Kartik Aryan also gave a special advice and a big hint to the cinema lovers and his fans to watch ‘I Play Rocky’. Kartik revealed that he has already seen the film once, but was so impressed by the film’s story and its emotional impact that he now plans to watch it again in the theatre.
Referring to a special thrill hidden at the end of the film, Karthik Aryan urged the audience not to miss the post-credit scene after the end of the film. He has termed the post-credit scene as the biggest surprise of the entire film, due to which the curiosity about this film has increased even more among the audience.
