The war bio-pic that Kabir Khan will direct with Kartik Aaryan in the lead, just got bigger. Sources close to the project inform that Kartik will be co-starring with either Katrina Kaif or Deepika Padukone in the true-life soldier’s story which Sajid Nadiadwala , reeling under the triple flop of Tadap, Bachchan Pandey and Heropanti 2 , is producing.

Informs the source, “After a stream of flops, Sajid is looking to change his fortunes with Kartik Aaryan, the current Midas of the boxoffice. Katrina or Deepika is likely to be cast opposite Kartik.Katrina is a close friend of director Kabir Khan and she is likely to bag the role.”
