Filmmaker Kabir Khan has hinted at a promising reunion with actor Kartik Aaryan for his next directorial venture, following their acclaimed 2024 collaboration on the sports drama Chandu Champion. Speaking at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Panaji, Khan revealed that while the script is ready, discussions are ongoing regarding casting, dates, and studio involvement, with an official announcement expected within a month.
Describing the project as “right up his alley,” Khan said it is an exciting human interest story set against a larger-than-life backdrop encompassing politics, society, and other compelling themes. Known for films like Ek Tha Tiger and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Khan expressed enthusiasm for joining hands with producer Sameer Nair and Applause Entertainment, praising Nair’s knack for backing unconventional yet successful stories.
Khan highlighted challenges in the Indian film ecosystem, emphasizing the need for both audience support and exhibition spaces that offer good shows and adequate screens to unconventional cinema.
