Kartik Aaryan attended the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, where he shared a viral backstage moment with Hollywood icon Johnny Depp.
Global celebrities descended on Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as the Red Sea International Film Festival commenced with its usual glamour and anticipation. Among the Indian stars representing Bollywood this year was Kartik Aaryan, who not only walked the festival’s red carpet but also participated as a special guest in an engaging ‘In Conversation’ session.
However, the highlight of Kartik’s visit quickly became his unexpected encounter with Hollywood legend Johnny Depp. The Pirates of the Caribbean star and the Bhool Bhulaiyaa actor shared a warm interaction backstage, resulting in a photograph that Kartik proudly shared with his fans on Instagram.
In the snapshot, Kartik stands beside Depp, both exuding distinct yet effortless charm. The Bollywood actor opted for understated elegance, wearing a cream cashmere sweater layered over a crisp white shirt—an ensemble that gave him a soft, classic look suitable for the festival’s sophisticated ambiance.
Johnny Depp, known for his timeless rocker aesthetic, stayed true to his signature style in a green plaid shirt thrown casually over a black T-shirt, blending comfort with his unmistakable cool persona.
Kartik captioned the photo with a playful line that immediately went viral:
"Pirates of the Red Sea. Jack Sparrow x Rooh Baba."
Fans flooded the comments, thrilled to see two beloved performers from different cinematic worlds sharing a frame.
On the work front, Kartik Aaryan is gearing up for a packed season. He is set to return to the big screen with Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, co-starring Ananya Panday and directed by Sameer Vidwans. Also featuring Jackie Shroff and Neena Gupta, the film is scheduled for release on Christmas Eve, promising to be a festive treat for audiences.
Beyond that, Kartik is also involved in Anurag Basu’s next project and the highly anticipated Naagzilla, further cementing his status as one of Bollywood’s busiest leading men.
His appearance at the Red Sea International Film Festival—and his viral moment with Johnny Depp—has only added to the growing excitement surrounding his upcoming projects.
