MUMBAI: Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan is set to collaborate with filmmaker Kabir Khan for an upcoming feature film, the makers announced on Monday.
The untitled project, based on a true story, will be jointly produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Khan, known for critically-acclaimed films like "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" and 2021's cricket-drama "83".
Nadiadwala Grandson shared the announcement in a post on its official Twitter handle and revealed that the film will go into production in 2023.

The film will be Nadiadwala and Khan's second collaboration after "83", which was headlined by Ranveer Singh.
Aaryan, who recently delivered a box office hit with "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2", took to Instagram and wrote that the project is "very special" to him." Super excited to embark on this exciting journey with one of my favourite filmmaker's @kabirkhankk and #SajidNadiadwala sir," the 31-year-old actor wrote.
