Aayush Sharma, who made his acting debut in LoveYatri, will play a soldier in his upcoming film. Titled Kwatha, the action-drama is inspired by real events. Expected to go on floors around September, the film is directed by Karan Lalit Bhutani and produced by Sunil Jain and Aditya Joshi of Cult Entertainment.

“It's a huge honour to play an army officer. I'm really looking forward to start shooting for the film," says Aayush.

The 33-year-old actor played the role of a dandiya instructor opposite Warina Hussain in LoveYatri. Released in 2018, the film was produced by Salman Khan Films and marked the directorial debut of Abhiraj Minawala. The plot was inspired by the 2006 Telugu film, Devadasu.
