Produced by Ronnie Screwvala and actor-turned-producer Harman Baweja, the action drama is inspired from India’s biggest and most successful rescue missions from a war-torn country. Aaryan will essay the role of a pilot in the movie and the actor said he is honoured to be part of the project.
"Captain India is inspiring and thrilling in equal measure and it gives me great pride and honour to be a part of such a historic chapter of our country. "I have immense respect for Hansal sir’s body of work and this was the perfect opportunity to collaborate with him,” Aaryan said in a statement.
Screwvala said the film captures the indomitable human spirit and Mehta, best known for Shahid, Aligarh and Scam 1992, is the perfect person to tap into the humane aspect of it. "Captain India is not just a story of one of the biggest humanitarian operations ever but also about the indomitable human spirit, one that rises above failure despite the odds. "Hansal Mehta is one of the finest filmmakers of our time and has always beautifully captured the true essence of humane stories. Kartik Aaryan’s fans are surely in for a treat as he steps into all-new territory with Captain India,” he added.
Baweja, who has also written the film, said Captain India strikes the perfect balance of an "inspiring human story and an exhilarating cinematic experience". "This move as a producer was a long time coming and I'm excited to collaborate with an equally passionate team in form of Ronnie Screwvala, Hansal Mehta and Kartik Aaryan. "I am confident that this story will resonate with every Indian,” the 40-year-old Baweja, who previously acted in films like Love Story 2050 and What's Your Raashee?, said.
Captain India will go on floors early next year.
