An industry insider informed Bollywood Hungama that Shahid Kapoor is discussing a film with Atlee. Apparently, it will be directed by one of his associates. “The actor has been in talks for the last 5 months and is on the verge of signing the dotted line,” stated the source.
It was also revealed that the film will be an original action entertainer and not a remake like Varun Dhawan’s Baby John. Interestingly, the Jawan director has himself developed the script for the unnamed one-of-its-kind action entertainer with his associate and feels that Shahid is the best choice to lead the story.
Having said that, the team is in advanced stages of discussion, and things are expected to fall into place shortly, stated the informant. The publication also stated that Atlee will be presenting Shahid in a “larger-than-life heroic avatar.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kapoor will be starting 2025 with the action-packed movie, Deva. On January 8, 2025, director Rosshan Andrrews spilled the beans about his character. During a conversation with Times Now, the filmmaker stated that Shahid’s character of a cop has a “don’t care" attitude. For the unknown, Deva is set to release in theaters on January 31, 2025.
On the other hand, the makers of Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri’s upcoming action-packed thriller Arjun Ustara dropped a sneak peek from the Mahurat shoot recently. They also suggested that Vishal Bhardwaj's movie will be released on December 5, 2025.
