Looks like Kartik Aryan is ready to shed his fun, chocolate boy image and go all out to really show his serious acting chops.
The plot revolves around a former television news anchor who unwittingly takes a call from a terrorist on his live radio show. When the terrorist’s threat proves to be real, the host decides to use this incident to get back in the spotlight. Kartik will be essaying the role of an investigative journalist.
“The entire film unfolds in one media office. There are only 5-6 characters. It is a very intimate low-budget one-set film and Kartik accepted it because he wants to work with directors who can tap his acting chops, also because he wants to do films far removed from the lightweight comedies he has become typecast in,” a source told Bollywood Hungama.
The source further added – “When he met Ram, Kartik’s only precondition before signing the film was, ‘I want this film to do for me what your Neerja did for Sonam.”
This yet-to-be-titled-thriller will go on floors in December and release in 2021.
