Kartik’s fanbase has grown significantly over the years. What began as simple admiration has evolved into a strong community. His recent success, especially with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, has only strengthened the bond between him and his fans.
After the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Kartik Aaryan is making smart choices as an actor, balancing it out by exploring films across genres with credible directors. The young hero has two films on floors at the moment – the Sameer Vidhwans directed Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri and the Anurag Basu directed untitled love story – both the films gearing up for a theatrical release in 2026. After calling it a wrap on the two films, Kartik starts shooting for the Mrighdeep Singh Lamba-directed Nagzilla. And now, we have exclusively learnt that Kartik has another addition to his line-up of films.
According to sources close to the development, Kartik Aaryan is teaming up with Ab Tak Chappan, Chak De India, and Rocket Singh director Shimit Amin for the first time. A source shares, “Kartik Aaryan and Shimit Amin have been in talks for the last year, jamming on multiple subjects to explore a potential collaboration. That’s when Kartik introduced Shimit to the world of Captain India, and the filmmaker found it to be a fascinating story.”
The source adds, “Shimit Amin has worked out a tight screenplay for Captain India, and is all set to take it on floors with Kartik Aaryan in the first half of 2026. When the filmmaker narrated the story to Kartik, the actor too was bowled over by the script. The duo is planning to shoot for Captain India in India and Morocco. In-fact, a team has already completed the recce in Morocco.”
Captain India will feature Kartik Aaryan as an Airforce Pilot and is set against the backdrop of a true story. The makers are aiming to shoot in the window of March to July, and bring it on the big screen in the first half of 2027.
Hansal Mehta Left Captain India Over Scheduling Conflict
First announced in July 2021, the thriller drama was initially slated to roll under the direction of Hansal Mehta in the latter part of 2022. The film was reportedly delayed as the actor and the director couldn’t match their dates. Producers Ronnie Screwvala and Harman Baweja, who had deferred the production for Kartik and Hansal’s dates to coincide, put the movie indefinitely on the backburner.
Hansal Mehta discussed his predicament with the producers and then mutually agreed to opt out because he was unable to commit the required time to Captain India, resulting in multiple delays in its production. The producers were said to be in talks with Abhishek Kapoor about filling the role. Gattu, on the other hand, was busy with his film Azaad with Ajay Devgn.
