Producer Sajid Nadiadwala on Wednesday announced that Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan will play the lead role in his upcoming production, titled ‘Satyanarayan Ki Katha’.

Touted as a soulful musical love saga, the film will be directed by National award-winning director Sameer Vidwans. He is renowned for ‘Anandi Gopal’, critically-acclaimed Marathi drama of 2019. ‘Satyanarayan Ki Katha’ will mark Bollywood debut of Vidwans.

Kartik shared the promo of the film on Twitter and wrote, “A story close to my heart #SatyanarayanKiKatha A special film with special people.”

The 30-year-old actor added, “It’s also a first for me with Sameer Vidwans sir, who has an astute sense of making sensitive topics highly entertaining. Honestly, I feel immense pressure and responsibility, since I am the only member in this team without a National award.”

“I have been wanting to work with Sajid sir for some time now, I couldn’t have asked for better collaboration. I’m extremely happy that I am a part of Sajid Sir, Shareen and Kishor’s vision,” Aaryan said in a statement.
