It's surprising how it took everyone one big film to notice his talent when he has been doing some wonderful cinema all along. Among the many offers Shahid is considering, is a film that will be helmed by Raj Kumar Gupta. The film is still in ideation stage and the director is getting the script in place before formally making an offer to Shahid. He just knows the concept of the movie, which is yet again a real-life drama and he will decide on the film only after hearing a narration."
Apart from this, he's also in talks for the Jersey remake, and was also offered a film under Nikkhil Advani's production company. He was supposed to do Ram Madhvani's next too with Ishaan Khatter but he's put all those films on hold currently. With Raj's next in the pipeline now, it adds another count to the several projects that he's been approached for.
