After having delivered the well-received ‘SatyaPrem Ki Katha‘ in 2023, actor Kartik Aaryan is ready to come back to the big screen again. His upcoming schedule includes Kabir Khan’s ‘Chandu Champion’ to be released in June 2024, and now, a currently untitled gritty thriller, to be directed by Vishal Bhardwaj.
Aaryan is all set to play Hussain Ustara, a fearless don who once stood against the infamous underworld kingpin, Dawood Ibrahim. According to reports, it is the same ‘Sapna Didi’ project that Bhardwaj was rumored to be making with the late Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone.
With Aaryan on board, the script has been tweaked a little and is ready to be narrated from Ustara’s vantage point. The film will be going into production in September 2024. So far, no details are out regarding the casting of the leading lady: Ashraf Khan aka Sapna Didi!
Kartik Aaryan’s slate of movies so far contain roles of a chocolate boy in dramatic albeit sometimes, difficult predicaments. The role of Ustara, however, will prove to be a deviation from his previous works. Moreover, it will be a test of his versatility – of sorts. Having previously delivered publicly acclaimed performances, will Aaryan persevere against the test of ‘multiple avatars’? Watch this space for more information about the same!
