She has earned praise for her performances in several South Indian films. Hindi audiences may remember her from the 2017 film Qarib Qarib Singlle, where she played Jaya opposite the late Irrfan Khan.
Captain India will tell the story of a rescue mission carried out in a war-torn country. However, the exact details of when and where the story is based have not been revealed. Aaryan will play the role of a pilot who plays a crucial role in carrying out the mission.
Kartik's next sports drama, knee injury and more
Kartik is also working on Kabir Khan’s upcoming sports drama. This is the actor and director’s second collaboration after Chandu Champion. With this project, Aaryan is also expanding his creative role with the launch of Dopamine Studios. His first production venture will be Khan’s upcoming inspirational sports drama.
A source reveals, “Kartik connected with the story at a very deep level from the moment he heard it. He was moved by the courage, passion and conviction at the heart of the real journey and felt it was a story that deserved to reach a wider audience. His decision to step into production came from that belief and his desire to support the film on a deeper creative level.”
The yet-untitled film is inspired by the extraordinary journey of Kashmiri kickboxing champion Tajamul Islam. Kartik plays a coach who helps a young girl from Kashmir pursue her dreams in the sport. He has undergone kickboxing training for the role, and the film is currently being shot across Mumbai and Kashmir.
The actor was shooting for this film when he suffered a knee injury on set and was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent surgery. The accident happened while he was filming an action sequence. He has reportedly injured his knee and was taken to the hospital for treatment.
