Kartik Aaryan and Kabir Khan are teaming up again, and this time they are bringing Birla Studios into the mix for what is being positioned as an emotional big-screen drama. Ladaku has officially locked June 18, 2027, as its worldwide theatrical release date, marking a major new milestone for the actor-director pair after the acclaim that followed Chandu Champion.
Ladaku Locks Its Release Date
The latest announcement confirms that Ladaku will arrive in cinemas globally on June 18, 2027. The film is backed by Birla Studios and Kabir Khan Entertainment, and it also marks Kartik Aaryan’s debut as a producer with Dopamine Studios. That makes Ladaku a significant project not only as a star vehicle, but also as a career expansion for the actor behind the scenes.
The film is described as an extraordinary real-life story rooted in ambition, grit and hope. That premise fits naturally into Kabir Khan’s storytelling lane, especially after films like Bajrangi Bhaijaan, 83 and Chandu Champion, all of which leaned on perseverance, emotion and larger human triumph.
Why The Reunion Matters
There is added curiosity around Ladaku because it reunites Kartik and Kabir after Chandu Champion, the 2024 biographical sports drama that brought the actor into a more physically and emotionally demanding space. The pairing already carries awards momentum, and that has helped place Ladaku firmly among the more closely watched Hindi releases on the 2027 calendar.
The involvement of Ananya Birla’s Birla Studios also gives the project a fresh production identity. With Kabir Khan directing and Kartik stepping in as producer as well as star, Ladaku appears designed as an ambitious, prestige-backed theatrical film rather than a routine announcement-driven launch.
Cast, Crew And Film Details
Ladaku is directed by Kabir Khan and stars Kartik Aaryan in the lead. It is produced by Birla Studios, Kabir Khan Entertainment and Dopamine Studios. The film is positioned as a heart-tugging, inspiring drama based on a real-life story, with a family-entertainer emotional core.
For Kartik, the film adds another major title to a line-up that increasingly balances commercial visibility with image-building roles. For Kabir Khan, it continues his long-standing interest in protagonists who push through adversity and find emotional victory against steep odds.
Kartik Aaryan’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Kartik was last seen in Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, which released in 2025. Before that, he headlined Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 in 2024, which emerged as his biggest commercial success, and Chandu Champion in 2024, a performance-driven role that further reshaped his screen image. He is also attached to an Anurag Basu directorial co-starring Sreeleela, which is scheduled for theatrical release on April 30, 2027. Kartik will also be seen in Kaalia a big budget production of Dharma Productions in addition to Naagzilla with same productions.
With Ladaku now dated for June 18, 2027, Kartik’s upcoming slate looks packed with high-visibility theatrical projects, and this reunion with Kabir Khan may well become one of the actor’s most closely followed career moves.
