In an interview with a leading newspaper, Kartik opened up about his preparation process and rehearsals to get into the skin of Arjun Pathak, he shared, "Dhamaka is the most challenging film of my career so far, and Arjun Pathak is the most difficult character I have played. In reality, I'm a very high-spirited person, so when I did a few of my previous films, which were in the rom-com space, I felt slightly more comfortable. However, Dhamaka pushed me to expand my boundaries as an actor. I play the role of a journalist, so my prep had definitely increased and was more detailed. I studied the lives of news reporters and watched various documentaries for a better understanding. It was also during the lockdown, so that gave me the time to get into this character deeply. Arjun character is layered and intense, so I really worked to live him in every possible way."
