5 Upcoming Shahid Kapoor Movies That Will Take Him To The Next Level

As we repeatedly have said, Shahid Kapoor, in our eyes, is certainly among the top working actors in Bollywood. And why not? The actor has proven time and time again that amidst all the noise, he has the skills that can cause envy to any of his colleagues.

Though, his career took a while to get going and the star has a penchant for doing terrible movies in between great projects, we think it is safe to say that he is back on track.

And going by what he has got lined up in his schedule, his career graph is only going to climb:

PADMAVATI

After a lot of tussle, it is confirmed that the actor will star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati. Padmavati, which will be based on the life of the Rani of Chittor in Rajasthan, is largely about the queen (Deepika Padukone) and Sultan Alauddin Khilji’s (Ranveer Singh) obsession with her. The role of Padmavati’s husband Rawal Ratan Singh will be played by Shahid Kapoor.

The film is scheduled to release on December 1st.

BATTI GUL METER CHALU

Touted to be a social entertainer, the movie, which is titled ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu' will have Vipul K. Rawal penning the script, who also wrote the script for for Akshay Kumar’s Rustom. 

‘Toilet - Ek Prem Katha’'s director Shree Narayan Singh would be helming the film & will be produced by KriArj Entertainment along with Tseries.

TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS

It is also being speculated that Shahid has been approached by Sanjay Leela Bhansali to star in his next film titled ‘Tuesdays And Fridays’. When prompted Shahid about the same, he said, "I read about it. But I haven't signed anything after Padmavati. So wait for an announcement."

IMTIAZ ALI'S NEXT

Latest reports reveal that Shahid will be collaborating once again with Imtiaz Ali post Jab We Met.

The actor expressed his excitement for the project and said, “We are going to do something soon together and I am really excited. I think Imtiaz is a phenomenally talented filmmaker. We made a film together towards the beginning of both our careers and its something people still talk about”.

He also added that the film will be very different from that of his previous flicks. He said, “It is very exciting and interesting”.

ARJUN REDDY REMAKE

There has been a lot of speculation around the casting of lead in the remake of Telugu film Arjun Reddy. Buzz is that Shahid Kapoor will be replacing Ranveer Singh for the same. The film is being directed by Sandeep Vanga.

If he gives his nod, Shahid will have to work very hard for the flick as he will have to lose eight to nine kilos of weight. Further, he will also have to learn the way to snort cocaine and to inject himself with stimulants and uppers.

KABADDI

It was reported earlier that Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is making a film Kabbadi with Hrithik Roshan in the lead. However according to rumours, the Krrish actor has been replaced by Shahid Kapoor in the movie. News about Shahid starring in the film started making rounds when the actor was spotted at Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s office in Mumbai.

A source said, “Shahid and Rakeysh met and discussed the idea of doing a movie together. Although nothing is on paper yet, the actor has shown a keen interest in Mehra’s film on kabaddi.” There is no official confirmation whether the actor will star in the film or not.
