"Fortunately, our pairing (Kartik and herself) really worked well in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2… We started off on such a great note. We've begun to prep for the film and will be shooting later this month together. I'm excited to be working with him once again! It's a love story, my favourite genre, where I play Katha, and he plays Satya. My last was Kabir Singh, which everyone loved," Kiara told Hello! India in the latest cover interview for the magazine.
Kiara also shared how the team worked on Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 for three years, even during the Covid-19 pandemic. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which also featured Tabu, had released on May 20 and collected over ₹200 crore at the box office worldwide. Kiara said in the same interview, "It was just so overwhelming for the entire team. We worked on it for three years, even during the pandemic. Everyone was happy with the result. It was incredible to be a part of a family comedy that also has an element of horror and was part of a well-known franchise…This year's highest-grossing film has given the industry hope!"
Apart from Satyaprem Ki Katha with Kartik, Kiara also has Govinda Naam Mera in pipeline. The film is directed by Shashank Khaitan and will see Kiara reunite with Vicky Kaushal. The two worked together in Lust Stories, a 2018 Netflix anthology film, consisting of four short films directed by Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee, and Karan Johar.
