Kartik Aaryan kicks off London shoot for ‘Captain India’
Kartik Aaryan has kicked off the London schedule of ‘Captain India’, marking the film’s major international leg. The actor arrived in the UK this week and signalled the start of production by sharing a travel shot holding the film’s shooting draft, confirming that cameras are now rolling on the Shimit Amin‑directed action drama.
The London stint forms the core of the film’s overseas shoot, running through September and October as the team executes the film’s large‑scale rescue sequences. The schedule follows Kartik’s recovery from a recent knee injury, with the actor returning to full production for what is positioned as one of his biggest films to date.
