Kartik Aaryan is currently one of the most bankable actors in the industry. He has been shooting back to back with different directors. From Chandu Champion, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 to Aashiqui 3, the actor has an interesting lineup of films ahead of him. It was also recently reported that Kartik joined hands with Vishal Bhardwaj for a gritty thriller. As fans were waiting with their bated breaths, a new report surfaced which suggests that the same is titled ‘Arjun Ustara’ and it will be shot across multiple locations in Europe.
If a source close to the entertainment portal Bollywood Hungama is to be believed, Kartik Aaryan would play the character which was initially supposed to be portrayed by Irrfan Khan. The source shared, “Vishal Bhardwaj was planning to make a film in the pre-covid world, however, the project was put on the back burner back in the day due to various issues. After years, it’s now set for a revival with Kartik Aaryan playing the part, which once upon a time was to be played by Irrfan Khan.”
The source continued, “The makers have tweaked the story to suit the image and stardom of Kartik Aaryan and are all set to take it on floors in the 2nd half of 2024. Vishal and Sajid are on the lookout to cast a top A-List actress to play the female lead opposite Aaryan. Kartik’s part in the film is said to be driven by action accompanied with strong emotions. The story has a lot of action, and the makers are planning to make it on a budget of Rs 150 crore.”
“Later detailing the shoot schedule of ‘Arjun Ustara’, the source continues, ‘Sajid Nadiadwala recently met the representatives from the Government of Spain and has reached an understanding wherein, the local government will assist with permissions and legalities facilitating shoots, while filmmakers will help promote tourism and their country. As for starting the shoot of the venture, the source continues, “Arjun Ustara will be shot extensively in Spain and Greece, with the filmmaker and maverick producer looking to mount the project and commence work this Diwali.'”
“Kartik is also excited to play an action-packed character in this gangster saga and will dive into the prep work from May. ‘It’s during Chandu Champion that Kartik discovered his love for action and his manifestation is turned into a reality now by Vishal Bhardwaj and Sajid Nadiadwala,’ the source concluded.
Kartik Aaryan is currently busy shooting for his upcoming horror comedy film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Helmed by Anees Bazmee, the film also stars Vidya Balan and Triptii Dimri in the lead roles and is all set to hit the theatres on the occasion of Diwali 2024.
