Kartik Aaryan & Dinesh Vijan team up for yet another film?

Kartik Aryan, who is inching closer to stardom with each new film, is in high demand in Bollywood. The actor was seen in two films in 2019 and both of them turned out to be huge money spinners at the box-office and took his popularity to another level. After an immensely successful 2019, Kartik Aaryan has a lot of hopes pinned on 2020.

With an aim of building a resume of electric performances, the actor begins 2020 with the release of Love Aaj Kal. Also starring Sara Ali Khan, Aarushi Sharma and Randeep Hooda in important roles, the film has been directed by Imtiaz Ali and enters theatres on Valentine’s Day.


Though Love Aaj Kal is still a few hours away from hitting theatres, we hear that its producer Dinesh Vijan has already signed the actor for another film. Yes, you heard it right! Kartik and Dinesh have previously worked together on Luka Chuppi last year. Now the producer seems so confident about the success of Love Aaj Kal that he has already signed the actor for another outing.

“Kartik has already delivered a big hit Luka Chuppi for Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films. Love Aaj Kal has not even released, but Dinesh is so confident of its success that he has already signed Kartik for another film, to be directed by Imtiaz Ali,” a source in the know informs a popular entertainment website.

Rumours have been rife lately that Imtiaz Ali is planning a film on Radhe-Krishna. The director is keen to have Kartik Aaryan and Deepika Padukone onboard to play the lead characters in the yet to be titled film. Looks like it is the same project for which Dinesh Vijan has roped in Kartik. An official announcement is highly awaited though.

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
