Believe in Your Dreams, No Matter What the World Says’: Kartik Aaryan’s Inspiring Message at ‘I Play Rocky’ Premiere
Mumbai: At the premiere of I Play Rocky, Kartik Aaryan delivered a heartfelt message about dreams, determination and the importance of believing in oneself. Calling the film a story for dreamers and believers, the actor said it would resonate with everyone who has ever been told that their ambitions are impossible. Sharing his thoughts, he said, “It’s a film about all the dreamers, about all the believers who believe in their dreams and who, you know, people tell them, ‘Nahi ho sakta, yeh tu kabhi nahi ban sakta, yeh kabhi nahi ban sakti.’ And I think this film will make you believe that you can do it and you can achieve your dreams, no matter what.”
Drawing a parallel with his own journey, Kartik spoke about how the original Rocky has inspired generations and how its iconic track Eye of the Tiger has personally motivated him during challenging moments. He revealed, “Meri journey mein kai baar jab bhi main demotivate hota hoon, toh Eye of the Tiger is one song, jo ek theme song hai, jo mujhe bahut motivate karta hai. And blinkers pehenke main waapis se apne dreams ke towards kaam karna shuru kar deta hoon.”
The actor’s words struck a particularly personal note as he reflected on a message that closely connects with his own journey in the film industry. From navigating challenges to carving his own identity, Kartik’s story echoes the film’s larger theme of perseverance and self-belief. His speech at the premiere highlighted how important it is to stay focused on one’s dreams, irrespective of criticism, setbacks or what others believe is possible.
Expressing his excitement about the film, Kartik raised a toast to cinema and I Play Rocky, while urging audiences not to miss its post-credit scene. Revealing that he had already watched the film and was planning to watch it again, he described the post-credit sequence as a cute surprise. Through his words at the premiere, Kartik left audiences with a powerful takeaway: keep believing, keep chasing your dreams and never let anyone tell you that you cannot achieve them.
