Captain India: Kartik Aaryan will learn how to fly a plane to look authentic as a pilot

A few days ago Bollywood heartthrob Kartik Aaryan gave his fans a pleasant surprise when he announced his next film, Captain India. Along with an impressive poster, in which the actor has donned the uniform of a pilot, he wrote: “When a man goes beyond the call of duty. With great pride and honour, we bring to you #CaptainIndia.” Directed by National Award winner filmmaker Hansal Mehta, Captain India is being backed by Ronnie Screwvala and Harman Baweja.

According to the latest report shared by Spotboye, Kartik will learn to fly the plane for real so that he looks authentic as a pilot in the film. A source close to the project was quoted saying, “It is a real-life mid-air survival story. Director Hansal Mehta is known to favour authenticity. He really can’t have Kartik faking the piloting. Kartik will actually learn how to fly a plane so that he is a hundred percept prepared for the part.”

This should not come as a surprise because as we all know Kartik believes in intense preparation for any character that he takes up. Captain India is reportedly inspired by one of India’s most successful rescue missions from a war-torn country. Are you excited to see Kartik as a pilot? We sure are!
