Kartik Aaryan’s Captain India Back On Track
Originally announced in 2021 with Hansal Mehta attached as director, Captain India is finally gearing up for production this summer. After years of silence, the aviation drama is now moving forward under filmmaker Shimit Amin, best known for Chak De! India (2007).
Industry chatter had sparked rumours of Amin’s exit, but insiders confirm he remains firmly on board. “The delays led to speculation, but the film is on track. Shimit is directing, and Kartik will begin work once he wraps his current T-Series project,” a source clarified.
The makers are eyeing a filming window between May and July, marking a fresh chapter for the long-awaited project. The first look, unveiled back in July 2021, had generated buzz, and fans can now expect the cameras to finally roll after five years of uncertainty.
