Kartik 'excited' to sport turban in 'Atithii Iin London'

Actor Kartik Aaryan, who is currently busy shooting for "Atithii Iin London", says he is excited to wear a turban in the film.

"I was excited to wear a turban for the film. I was surprised when I read the script and saw that certain scenes required me to wear a turban," Kartik said in a statement.

Kartik said it was a "proud moment and was surreal shooting in a Gurudwara" in London.

"It feels like home even in a new foreign city...you feel the spirituality and the experience was completely uplifting and a great way to flag the shoot," he added.

The "Pyaar Ka Punchnama" fame actor said that he had a senior Sikh man from London, who helped him with the turban for the film, which is a sequel of the 2010 film "Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?"

"The team and I sat and worked out a look. A senior Sikh gentleman from London helps me with the turban. It takes about an hour to get ready for the look, including make-up," he said.

Along with him, the movie also stars Kriti Kharbanda, Paresh Rawal and Tanvi Azmi.

Directed by Ashwini Dhir, "Atithii Iin London" is a unique modern love story with new characters and setting.
