'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' has become the third Hindi movie of the year to have crossed the 100 crore mark after Alia Bhatt-starrer 'Gangubai Kathiawadi', which earned Rs 129 crore and 'The Kashmir Files', which tasted a massive success of Rs 252 crore. As of now, the recent Kartik Aaryan-starrer film has a cumulative total of Rs 122.69 crore.

Now, a report by Bollywood Life had stated that Kartik has reportedly hiked his fees for his upcoming fees owing to the grand success of "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2". The report said that the 'Dhamaka' actor who was apparently charging Rs 15-20 crore per movie, is now charging Rs 35-40 crore.

However, soon after this news went viral, the actor himself responded to the report stating that it was "baseless". Sharing the report on Twitter, Kartik wrote; "Promotion hua hai life mein Increment nahi. Baseless".
