Kartik Aaryan who has been climbing from strength to strength is all set to play his first non-fictional character.
This is for a film to be directed by Hansal Mehta. The master of biopics, Hansal has earlier made films based on real-life characters such as Shahid, Aligarh, Omerta, and Scam 1992.
Says a source, “After the stupendous success of his Harshad Mehta bio-series, Hansal was keen to do a big-screen biopic with a saleable star. He has been continuously working with brilliant actors like Manoj Bajpai and Rajkumar Rao. But they bring nothing to the box office. Hansal has decided to direct a biopic based on the life of an airforce pilot with a saleable star Kartik Aaryan.”
For Kartik whose career has been rapidly rising on the box office scale, a Hansal Mehta film is a chance to prove himself as an actor right after Ram Madhvani’s Dhamaka which will stream on Netflix at the end of June or early July and in which Kartik is said to have given an outstanding performance.
The bio-pic with Hansal Mehta goes on the floors by October-November depending on the pandemic situation.
