Aayush, who’s the husband of Salman Khan’s sister Arpita Khan, had made his Bollywood debut with Love Yatri, which failed to create a magic at the box office. Talking about his role in Kwatha, Aayush had earlier said that it was a ‘huge honour to play an army officer.’
Kwatha will likely be released in 2020 with the shooting of the film scheduled to start in September this year. Isabelle had earlier given a hint of entering Bollywood when she shared a photo of herself with sister Katrinas on Instagram with a cryptic caption in Hindi that read, “didi.”
Katrina, who starred in blockbuster Bharat opposite Salman Khan, had dated him for many years before they broke up. There were reports that the two came together once again during the shooting of Bharat.
