Renowned for his versatile roles, Kartik Aaryan has solidified his status as a household name over the past few years. The actor has garnered widespread acclaim for his performances in all his films and is now reportedly set to surprise audiences with an unexpected collaboration.
According to a recent tweet by journalist Rahul Raut on his X handle (formerly Twitter), Kartik is set to team up with Vishal Bhardwaj for an upcoming project based on the life of Hussain Ustara. This film, previously titled ‘Sapna Didi,’ was initially planned with the late Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles. However, the story has been reworked and will now be told from Hussain Ustara’s perspective. Filming is reportedly scheduled to commence by September this year, with the casting for the role of Ashraf Khan, also known as Sapna Didi, yet to be finalized.
Rahul wrote, ”CONFIRMED!! #KartikAaryan and #VishalBhardwaj collaborate for a gritty thriller, produced by #SajidNadiadwala. Kartik to play #HussainUstara, a fearless don who stood against the underworld’s kingpin DawoodIbrahim… It’s reportedly the same #SapnaDidi project Bhardwaj was once making with late #IrrfanKhan and #DeepikaPadukone… The old script has been tweaked and will now be told from Ustara’s perspective.
