Aayush Sharma’s Kwatha begins production at the end of October

Aayush Sharma made his acting debut with brother-in-law Salman Khan’s romantic movie LoveYatri in 2018 and has been missing from the scene ever since. However, if you missed the actor all this while, here is an exciting piece of news for you. Aayush Sharma will soon start shooting for his next Bollywood outing Kwatha in October.

Kwatha is based on a real-life incident wherein the young actor will be seen in the role of an army officer. To get into the skin of his character, Aayush has beefed up over the past few months. The movie will be mostly shot in Manipur.


Talking about his transformation and much more, Aayush said, "I look like an army guy now. I am trying my level best to prepare for the role. Right now, I am training with the Army and I am trying to understand their body language. I think in 20 to 25 days, which is around the end of October, we will go on floors.”

Besides Aayush Sharma, Kwatha also features debutante Isabelle Kaif as the female lead. Kaif is the younger sister of popular Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif. Earlier, she was about to make her acting debut with a dance-based film called Time To Dance, co-starring Sooraj Pancholi. However, the project went into cold storage for reasons best known to the makers. After the fiasco, Salman Khan announced Kwatha, featuring Isabelle Kaif opposite Aayush Sharma.

To be produced by Salman Khan under his production house Salman Khan Films, Kwatha will be directed by Karan Bhutani. Though the makers have not locked any date as yet, the film is scheduled to hit screens in 2020.
