Of
late,
there
was
a
strong
buzz
in
the
tinsel
town
about
Kartik
Aaryan
and
filmmaker
Hansal
Mehta
joining
hands
for
an
intriguing
project.
Well,
it
turns
out
that
these
rumours
were
true!
The
Sonu
Ke
Titu
Ki
Sweety
actor
has
been
roped
in
to
play
the
lead
in
Mehta's
upcoming
film
Captain
India.
The
film
will
be
produced
by
RSVP
and
Baweja
Studios.
Kartik
took
to
his
Instagram
page
to
announce
his
new
project
and
dropped
the
first
look
poster
with
a
caption
that
read,
"When
a
man
goes
beyond
the
call
of
duty.
With
great
pride
and
honour,
we
bring
to
you
#CaptainIndia
🧑🏻✈️."
Kartik
Aaryan-starrer
Captain
India
is
reportedly
inspired
by
true-life
incidents,
and
has
the
actor
essaying
the
role
of
a
pilot
who
spearheads
a
rescue
operation
in
a
war-torn
country.
Speaking
about
this
film,
Aaryan
told
Variety
magazine,
"Captain
India
is
inspiring
and
thrilling
in
equal
measure
and
it
gives
me
great
pride
and
honor
to
be
a
part
of
such
a
historic
chapter
of
our
country."
Director
Hansal
Mehta
said,
"Captain
India
which
is
inspired
by
true
events,
will
revisit
a
moment
in
time
where
a
man
goes
beyond
his
own
pain
and
suffering
to
save
thousands."
Actor-turned-producer
Harman
Baweja
who
is
bankrolling
this
film
under
Baweja
Studios
said
in
a
statement,
"Captain
India
is
the
kind
of
film
that
strikes
the
perfect
balance
of
an
inspiring
human
story
and
an
exhilarating
cinematic
experience.
I'm
excited
to
collaborate
with
an
equally
passionate
team
in
Ronnie
Screwvala,
Hansal
Mehta
and
Kartik
Aaryan."
Ronnie
Screwvala
added,
"Captain
India
is
not
just
a
story
of
one
of
the
biggest
humanitarian
operations
ever
but
also
about
the
indomitable
human
spirit,
one
that
rises
above
failure
despite
the
odds.
Hansal
Mehta
is
one
of
the
finest
filmmakers
of
our
time
and
has
always
beautifully
captured
the
true
essence
of
humane
stories.
Kartik
Aaryan's
fans
are
surely
in
for
a
treat
as
he
steps
into
all-new
territory
with
Captain
India."
Besides
Captain
India,
Kartik
Aaryan's
upcoming
projects
includes
Ram
Madhavani's
Dhamaka,
Anees
Bazmee's
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa

upcoming
Bollywood
