Ever since the release of ‘Kabir Singh’ in 2019, Shahid Kapoor has been quite invested in conceptual projects. Despite a busy schedule, the actor is simultaneously working on multiple projects. Currently, Shahid is working on his digital debut with Raj & DK’s web show. Also, on the release front, he has ‘Jersey’ lined up. And now, if the recent reports are true, Shahid recently signed a new project which will be helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar.
Shahid Kapoor has played many complex characters with ease in films like Haider, Kaminey, and few others. And thus, the actor was the first choice for Ali Abbas Zafar’s new thriller project. While Zafar is currently shooting Tiger 3, he has initiated the pre-work for this new film. As per the reports, the story is cited under the thriller genre and takes place over the span of one night. It is said to be an official adaptation of a foreign film.
The reports further add that the film will go on floors late this year. And it will be primarily shot in Abu Dhabi. Though more details about the project have been kept under wraps, it will be bankrolled by Zafar’s Offside Entertainment. Moreover, the filmmaker has been planning to adapt the project for Hindi audiences for a very long time.
On the other hand, Shahid is looking out for projects other than usual masala potboilers. And it seems that Zafar’s new project matches the actor’s expectations. If everything goes as planned, the two will be soon officially announcing their collaboration.
In terms of their work front, Zafar is busy shooting Tiger 3 with Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Emraan Hashmi. After wrapping it up, the director will move on to this new project.
