The director compared the 24-year-old to one of Bollywood&amp;#039;s biggest actors, Akshay Kumar.  &amp;quot;Kartik is big star material. I see him having all the star qualities of Akshay Kumar - including action, dance and a star presence on screen,&amp;quot; revealed Ghai. &amp;quot;Please wait and watch, he is gonna be a superstar in 2015.&amp;quot;  Tiwari made his debut in the 2011 cult hit Pyar Ka Punchnama, winning praise for a four-minute comic monologue, said to be one of the longest single take scenes in a Hindi movie. &amp;quot;Kartik is a bit awkward initially, but his performance grows on you gradually.
