'Aarya' director to helm Kartik Aaryan's action entertainer?
Kartik Aaryan is all set to collaborate with filmmaker Karan Johar for a third time after Naagzilla and Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. The details have been kept under wraps, but Bollywood Hungama has reported that it will be an action entertainer directed by Sandeep Modi, known for Aarya and The Night Manager. The movie will present Aaryan in a "new avatar."
Expect an action-heavy film from Aaryan
A source told Bollywood Hungama that Johar, Aaryan, and Modi were initially supposed to work on a war film, which didn't materialize. Aaryan and Modi had promised to work together in the future when the right script comes along. Now, they're finally set to collaborate. The source said, "It's a new script and has a lot of action." "It would be different from the rest of the other two films that [Aaryan is] doing with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions."
