Kartik Aaryan getting into action mode

Actor Kartik Aaryan has shown his romantic side and comic skills in various Bollywood films. Now, the audience will get to see his action avatar in a film to be helmed by 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior' director Om Raut.

The action thriller in 3D backed by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series, will be shot in India and various locations abroad.

"I've been keen to do an out and out action film since a while, and Bhushan sir knew about it. I recently watched 'Tanhaji...' and was completely blown away by not only the spectacular visuals but also the narrative style. Om Raut's vision when it comes to action storytelling using 3D is unparalleled," said Kartik.

"I'm super excited to be a part of his next film and can't wait to start work on my first action movie," he added.

The director added: "In the initial stages of the script itself I knew Kartik would fit the character well and I am glad to have him on board."

The remaining cast is yet to be finalised.

With this mega budget action film, Bhushan will reunite with Kartik after 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety,' 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' and 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.'
