Shifting gears

Kartik Aaryan has expanded his creative repertoire with the launch of his production banner, Dopamine Studios. The banner will produce his upcoming projects, including the yet-untitled film with filmmaker Kabir Khan. A source told Bollywood Hungama that the actor’s decision to turn producer came from his desire to support stories he feels strongly about, adding, “His decision to step into production came from that belief and his desire to support the film on a deeper creative level.”
