Monday, 30 April 2018 09:22

Shahid Kapoor whose last release ‘Padmaavat’ earned immense popularity is currently busy shooting for ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu’ alongside Shraddha Kapoor and Yami Gautam.

Recently there were reports of him being a part of the Hindi remake of the Telugu blockbuster ‘Arjun Reddy’.

While the director of the film Sandeep Reddy Vanga had earlier confirmed Shahid’s involvement in ‘Arjun Reddy’, the actor revealed that it might happen but nothing is confirmed as of now. Speaking to a media portal Shahid revealed that he’s very excited to learn that the project might come to him and that once confirmed he will also make an official announcement about the same.

When Shahid was told about the director’s quote, he quipped about the filmmaker’s choice being right. Director Sandeep Vanga revealed that remaking one’s own film is 10 times tougher. He also revealed to a daily that Shahid has apparently started prepping for the role. As per reports, he will be playing the role of a medical student with anger management issues.

Vanga also revealed that Shahid has, in fact, watched the original movie a couple of times before. The director-actor duo had attended the screening of the film together in Mumbai to understand the nuances of the character better. They also had a discussion about the nitty-gritties of the film and the character that Shahid will be portraying.

Reportedly, Shahid will attend workshops that will help him adapt the behavioural change to depict the angst of the character, after wrapping up the shoot of ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu’. He will also have to undergo a physical transformation to look like a final year medical student. The director is hoping to take the film on the floors by July.
