Kartik Aaryan's much-anticipated film 'Captain India' is officially set to hit theaters during the Independence Day weekend in 2027. The film, directed by Shimit Amin, known for his acclaimed work on 'Chak De! India', will begin filming in June 2026. 'Captain India' is inspired by real-life events and is being developed as a thriller drama. Alongside this project, Aaryan is also working on an untitled romantic drama, which has faced delays and is now expected to release in late 2026 or early 2027. Initially linked to the 'Aashiqui' franchise, this romantic film is now being crafted as an independent project while aiming to retain the emotional essence of classic Hindi love stories. Fans have noted a shift in Aaryan's on-screen persona, as early glimpses suggest a more intense and grounded character portrayal.
