- Kartik Aaryan will star in and make his debut as a producer on 'Ladaku' through his Dopamine Studios, marking a major career expansion beyond acting
- Kabir Khan is directing 'Ladaku,' returning to emotional, family-centered storytelling in the style of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' and '83,' with themes of ambition, grit, and hope
- Birla Studios, led by Ananya Birla, is spearheading production on 'Ladaku,' co-producing with Kabir Khan Entertainment for a wide-scale rollout
- Ladaku is scheduled for worldwide theatrical release on June 18, 2027, positioning it as a major tentpole release over a year in advance
- Kartik Aaryan and Kabir Khan previously collaborated on 'Chandu Champion,' where Aaryan portrayed Paralympian Murlikant Petkar and won the 2024 Filmfare Best Actor award
Why it matters: This project elevates Kartik Aaryan from leading man to producer, signaling a strategic shift in his career trajectory, while the early 2027 date locks in a high-profile slot in the Hindi film calendar, increasing competition for summer releases and raising expectations for a content-driven blockbuster.
