Arjun Kapoor has announced his upcoming film, Raj Kumar Gupta’s India’s Most Wanted. Calling it an untold story that will inspire India, the film is a tribute to the unsung heroes who dedicate their lives to protect ours. The film will hit screens May 24, 2019, and has already sparked interest.
Helmed by Gupta, who delivered one of 2018’s biggest grossers, Raid, the upcoming thriller is supposedly inspired by a secret mission that was held between 2012 and 2014 to capture one of India's most wanted terrorists.

Arjun Kapoor is touted to play an intelligence officer in the film, which will primarily be shot in Nepal and Delhi. It will be interesting to see the hunky star show his action side, as he carries out high-stakes and secret operations along with the intelligence bureau.
He took to twitter today to share this news with his fans and posted a special message.
Buzz has it that Kapoor and Gupta had desired to collaborate for a long time. While they wanted to work on a celluloid adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's Revolution 2020, the project did not materialize. They moved on to different projects thereafter.
However, now the timing and the theme have fallen into place. After intense discussions about the role and the film, Arjun is on board for this 2019 release, which is being bankrolled by Fox Star Studios. The film is pegged to be shot in one go.
It is learnt that the film is set in contemporary times and is based on real incidents. Arjun’s character, a RAW agent, is on a mission to catch the most wanted terrorist and he does so without a single gunshot being fired. This forms the crux of the story. The plot is both gripping and interesting and fans will be eager to see Kapoor in a fresh and exciting avatar.
Arjun, who was last seen in Mubarakan, has three more projects in the pipeline: Namaste England, Panipat and the Hindi remake of Arjun Reddy.
