Kartik Aaryan is reported to be in talks to play the lead role in Vivek Agnihotri’s upcoming film “Operation Sindoor.” Multiple outlets link the casting to Aaryan completing his current project first, and frame the movie as a true-events-inspired story about Indian “deep strikes” related to counter-terrorism and operations inside Pakistan.
The reporting also ties “Operation Sindoor” to work based on Lt. Gen. K. J. S. Dhillon’s book. Times of India adds that Aaryan will begin after wrapping Shimit Amin’s “Captain India,” and lists several other upcoming films. Free Press Journal further states the operation is connected to the aftermath of the April 2025 Pahalgam attack and says earlier reports had mentioned Varun Dhawan.
Across coverage, the core facts align: the project is by Vivek Agnihotri, Aaryan is the reported lead, and the timeline depends on finishing “Captain India.” Differences mainly concern background details on the operation’s historical framing and mentions of casting rumors, rather than the central casting claim.
