Kartik Aaryan to star in Vivek Agnihotri's Operation Sindoor

Actor Kartik Aaryan is set to play the lead role in filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri's upcoming film Operation Sindoor, which is inspired by real events. The project is based on Lieutenant General KJS 'Tiny' Dhillon's book, Operation Sindoor: The Untold Story of India's Deep Strikes Inside Pakistan.

According to Variety India, Kartik will begin work on the film after completing his current project, Captain India, directed by Shimit Amin. Set against the backdrop of the Houthi conflict in Yemen, the film is currently in production.

Operation Sindoor marks the first collaboration between Kartik and Agnihotri, known for directing films such as The Tashkent Files, The Kashmir Files, The Vaccine War and The Bengal Files. The upcoming film will be backed by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series and Agnihotri's production banner, I Am Buddha Productions.

Katrina also spoke about the pressure on new mothers to regain their pre-pregnancy fitness. For her, motherhood is not a phase she wants to move backwards from. Instead, she sees it as a



meaningful new chapter.

“Bounce back? From where?” she told the same portal. “I have taken a step ahead to something that was a deep desire in my heart, so why would I want to go back?”

The actor recalled the emotions she experienced after giving birth to her son, Vihaan. She described seeing his face for the first time as an indescribable feeling, marking the culmination of four years of a journey she shared with husband Vicky Kaushal.

“The first few days after I gave birth, it was an indescribable feeling to see Vihaan’s face and know that four years of a journey for me and Vicky had led to this.”

While Katrina remains conscious of her fitness goals, she is in no hurry to meet them. She said she understands her body and knows when she feels her most energetic, adding that she intends to follow her own timeline.

“I am very aware of my fitness journey and where my body feels at its most energetic. I will reach there at my own pace.”
