If reports are to be believed Kartik Aaryan is set to play the lead role in Vivek Agnihotri’s next Operation Sindoor, which was announced earlier this year by producer Bhushan Kumar.

As per a report in Variety India, Kartik will be playing the male lead in the project. No official announcement regarding the cast of the film has been made yet.
