7 Bollywood Films Of Shahid Kapoor That Never Got Released

Time and again in Bollywood Shahid Kapoor has proved his mettle as an actor and with his recent outing in Padmaavat he did hit it out of the park as the fearless Rajput Rawal Ratan Singh. He entered the industry as the chocolate hero in Ishq Vishq and millions of girls simply swooned over his charming smile. But ever since he has experimented with his roles and simply nailed it with films like Haider, Kaminey, Jab We Met and Vivah. There are some films however that  Shahid Kapoor signed that for various reasons never got made or released. Here are the actor’s shelved films.

Heer And Ranjha - Shabir Khan’s 2010 film Heer And Ranjha was to star Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor even before we thought of seeing them together in a film like Padmavat. Well what Shabir couldn’t do, Sanjay Leela Bhansali made possible. But Shabir did go on to praise the chemistry of the duo and said this in an interview. "We opted for Deepika because we needed a face that could look contemporary and classical (for Heer And Ranjha). As for Shahid, he's an intense actor. I'm positive this pair can project the pangs of passionate love." 

Yahaan Ke Hum Sikander – Director Ahmed Khan planned on making a football film starring John Abraham and Shahid Kapoor.
