Director Kabir Khan is set to bring another inspiring sports story to the big screen. After the buzz around his recent projects, Midday has reported that his next venture will be a biopic based on the life of Tajamul Islam, the young kickboxing sensation from Kashmir. Kartik Aaryan is reportedly leading the project, marking another collaboration between the actor and the director.
Tajamul Islam made headlines globally when she became the first Kashmiri girl to represent India and win a gold medal at the World Kickboxing Championship in Cairo, Egypt. Her journey from a small village in Bandipora to the international stage is a story of grit and determination. Kabir Khan, known for his signature style of mixing human emotions with grand scale in films like 83 and Bajrangi Bhaijaan aims to capture this remarkable journey through a biopic. The film may star Kartik Aaryan in a key role of the coach. While Kartik has been known for his romantic comedies, this project marks his continued interest in real-life narratives like Chandu Champion. The movie is expected to highlight the challenges faced by athletes in regions with limited resources and how Tajamul broke barriers to achieve global recognition.
According to sources close to the development, Kabir Khan has been researching the story for a long time to ensure authenticity. The story will not only focus on the sport of kickboxing but also on the personal struggles and the cultural backdrop of Tajamul’s upbringing. The makers are yet to confirm the actor who will play the role of Tajamul. Details from the report also suggest that the team is looking to capture the scenic yet rugged terrains of Kashmir to stay true to the protagonist’s roots.
Kartik was last seen in the romantic comedy, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri opposite Ananya Panday.
