Mumbai | Actor Kartik Aaryan has started shooting for his upcoming movie with filmmaker Kabir Khan.

Titled "Chandu Champion", the film is backed by producer Sajid Nadiadwala's banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment (NGE).

Aaryan took to Instagram on Wednesday evening and shared the news along with a photo with the "83" director.

"Shubhaarambh. And the most challenging and exciting journey of my career begins... with the captain @kabirkhankk #ChanduChampion," the 32-year-old actor wrote in the caption.
