Kartik Aaryan starrer Captain India locks Independence Day 2027 release Kartik Aaryan’s long-awaited Captain India has officially locked its theatrical release date. The aviation-themed drama, which marks the actor’s first collaboration with filmmaker Shimit Amin, is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on August 13, 2027, strategically timed for the Independence Day weekend. Presented by T-Series and Baweja Studios in association with Midnight Chai Films Ltd. , Captain India has been one of the more closely followed projects in Kartik Aaryan’s upcoming slate. The film had originally been announced in 2021, but there were multiple ups and downs the film underwent. The project carries added interest because it marks the return of director Shimit Amin after a 17-year gap from feature filmmaking. Amin’s filmography may be compact, but it has earned a loyal following over the years. He made his directorial debut with the gritty crime drama Ab Tak Chhappan (2004), followed it up with the widely loved sports drama Chak De! India (2007), and later directed Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009), which went on to gain a strong cult following over time. #BreakingNews. . .

Anurag Basu CLARIFIES status of Kartik Aaryan, Sreeleela film: “Majority of the shooting is done is a myth” Filmmaker Anurag Basu has clarified that his much-anticipated musical romantic drama starring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela is still in the early stages of production, dismissing reports that most of the shoot had already been completed. In a recent interaction with Variety India, Basu revealed that only a limited portion of the film has been shot so far. Addressing speculation about the project’s progress, he said, “That the majority of the shooting is done is a myth. I've not shot more than 45 days for this film. The shooting has just started. ”The film had generated significant buzz when its promo was unveiled in February last year with an initial release target of December 2025. However, the schedule was later pushed back due to multiple factors. Current estimates suggest the project may now arrive in theatres in late 2026 or early 2027. During the same conversation, Basu also spoke about his eagerness to move on to his long-planned biopic on Kishore Kumar once the Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela starrer is completed. “I'm dying to jump into that film as soon as I get over with the film which I'm doing right now, and I'm galloping with it. I want to finish it because I really want to get into Kishore as soon as possible. Kishore has been in my system for a very long time. I want to get it out right now.

Kartik Aaryan takes legal route to protect his identity, flags online misuse Actor Kartik Aaryan has approached the Bombay High Court, alleging unauthorised commercial use of his personality across multiple online platforms, in a move that underscores growing concerns over digital misuse of celebrity identities. According to reports, the actor has filed an intellectual property (IP) suit seeking protection of his name, image, likeness, and other identifiable attributes, which he claims are being used without consent. The plea targets several online platforms as well as unidentified individuals, often referred to as “John Doe” parties, accused of exploiting his persona for commercial gain. In his petition, Kartik has sought a permanent injunction to restrain entities from using his identity in advertisements, merchandise, or digital content. He has also urged the court to direct platforms to take down such material and disclose details of those responsible.
