Kartik, who is keeping a low profile since Dosatana 2 ousting, is reportedly being roped in to play the lead role in acclaimed filmmaker Hansal Mehta's upcoming directorial venture. If reports are to be believed, the film is being put together by Harman Baweja. Though it is a commercial venture the upcoming film will be marked with Hansal's signatory style of telling storytelling.
For the untitled film, Hansal is said to be inspired by a real life story which also has a nostalgic angle to it. The buzz has it that Kartik will be seen essaying the role of an IAF officer who will be the main pilot in a rescue operation.
