After much anticipation and various speculations about its progress, Kartik Aaryan's aviation drama, Captain India, is finally moving toward filming. The project, which was first announced in 2021, is now reportedly scheduled to begin filming between May and July 2026. When the film was initially introduced almost five years ago, the first look featured Kartik Aaryan in a pilot's uniform, creating a buzz. At that time, acclaimed filmmaker Hansal Mehta was attached to direct the project. However, after a long period with no updates, the project saw a change in leadership.
