Kartik Aaryan To Play Air Force Pilot In Shimit Amin's Captain India
Kartik Aaryan teams up with Chak De! India director Shimit Amin for Captain India, a true-story Air Force drama to be filmed in India and Morocco. After the massive success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Kartik Aaryan seems to be on a calculated career path, diversifying his choices with projects spanning genres and top-tier directors. The actor currently has two films on the floor – Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri directed by Sameer Vidhwans and an untitled love story helmed by Anurag Basu – both slated for theatrical release in 2026. Once these wrap, Kartik will move straight into Nagzilla, a quirky entertainer directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba. Now, according to a Pinkvilla report, Kartik has added yet another big-ticket project to his growing slate — a first-time collaboration with acclaimed filmmaker Shimit Amin, known for Ab Tak Chappan, Chak De! India, and Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year. A source close to the development revealed, 'Kartik Aaryan and Shimit Amin have been in conversations for over a year, bouncing around multiple ideas for 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 insider added, 'Shimit Amin has already locked a crisp, engaging screenplay for Captain India and is set to roll cameras with Kartik in the first half of 2026. When Shimit narrated the story, Kartik was immediately hooked. The plan is to shoot extensively in India and Morocco — in fact, the location recce in Morocco has already been completed." Set against the backdrop of a true story, Captain India will see Kartik Aaryan in the role of an Air Force pilot, marking one of his most intense and patriotic avatars yet. The makers are eyeing a March-to-July 2026 shooting window, with a grand theatrical release targeted for the first half of 2027. With Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, the Anurag Basu romance, Nagzilla, and now Captain India, Kartik's filmography is shaping up to be one of the most versatile and packed line-ups among the younger generation of Bollywood stars. And if sources are to be believed, there are more announcements on the horizon — proving that Kartik Aaryan's box office run is just getting started.
