Kartik Aaryan is flying high, in more ways than one. For his forthcoming aerial action film Captain India, which starts shooting in July, Kartik is learning to fly a plane: a skill far removed for the actor from learning to play the guitar or to do the breakdance for a role.
The film will be directed by Shimit Amin. The very talented Shimit Amin, who once directed Shah Rukh Khan in the iconic Chak De! India in 2007 and who has since then directed only one other feature film in 2009, has been coaxed out of voluntary retirement by Kartik Aaryan for a real-life airborne story.
A source close to the project revealed, “It is a real-life mid-air survival story. Director Shimit Amin is known to favour authenticity. He really can’t have Kartik faking the piloting. Kartik is actually learning how to fly a plane so that he is a 100% prepared for the part.”
Captain India is the real-life story of a commercial pilot who risked his own life to save hundreds of passengers. The film is inspired by India's major humanitarian evacuation operations. It will be shot in Morocco and India.
