Kartik Aaryan might work with Imtiaz Ali

Buzz has it that actor Kartik Aaryan, who was recently seen in filmmaker Luv Ranjan’s successful film Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018), has just bagged yet another high-profile feature film.

According to reports, the actor has been roped in to play the male lead in renowned filmmaker Imtiaz Ali’s next film. If reports turn out to be true, it will be the first time when the duo works together on a project.

A quiet opening that sets the divide

Razid Season’s short film Elijah opens on an unassuming domestic moment: a family seated around a dining table. The parents eat with their hands, while their daughter uses a spoon. The contrast, subtle but deliberate, signals the generational gap that underpins the film. This divide soon sharpens when the child resists her mother’s insistence on traditional clothing and asks to be called Elijah.

Further tension emerges when the father dismisses same-sex relationships while watching a television news segment, unaware that his own child is already questioning both gender and identity. Season avoids direct explanation, allowing everyday interactions to reveal the growing distance between parents and child.
