Even as he awaits the release of 'Satyaprem Ki Katha', Kartik Aaryan has kicked off his next with filmmaker Kabir Khan. The yet-untitled action drama went on floors in Joker Maidan in Film City, Goregaon, on Wednesday. We hear the director has charted out a 10-day schedule during which the movie’s action set-pieces will be canned. A source reveals, “The shooting began with a hand-to-hand combat sequence featuring Kartik. The schedule has been planned in such a way that the major outdoor fight scenes will be shot before the monsoons hit the city. This film will see the leading man attempt action again after Shehzada.” 

Announced in July 2022, the project marks the first collaboration between Aaryan and Khan. At the time, the filmmaker had described it as a “fascinating true story about an unknown hero.”
