With Kaminey in 2009 and Haider in 2014, Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj have worked together to create magic on film throughout the years. Haider also won a National Award for Best Music, Best Dialogue, Best Costume Design, Best Playback Singer – Male, and Best Choreography. And now, we can reveal exclusively that Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj are teaming up again for an action-packed thriller, thanks to producer Sajid Nadiadwala.

Sajid Nadiadwala and Vishal Bhardwaj have reportedly signed Shahid Kapoor to play the lead role in their upcoming movie, according to people familiar with the situation. “Vishal Bhardwaj has developed the first action film of his career and the maker is planning to mount it on a big scale. It’s a mission-based action thriller and Sajid Nadiadwala is excited to bring it to the spectacle in the biggest possible way. The duo of Sajid and Vishal believe that Shahid Kapoor is the best fit of the role. The makers are looking to create 6 massive action set pieces for the yet untitled feature film,” disclosed a source close to the development.

 

The insider went on to say that Shahid Kapoor was taken aback by the action thriller's narration and was shocked to see so much action in the story. “Shahid has utmost respect for Vishal and Sajid, and he was on board the film the minute he heard the narration. This would be Shahid’s next film to go on floors. He is looking to embark on a journey with Vishal and Sajid from September / October 2024,” the source revealed. Both the US and India will be used as major filming locations.

 

The cast of Shahid, Vishal, and Sajid is eager to tell the audience a whole new tale, even though the movie doesn't yet have a title. “It’s a film made for today’s audience, treated very differently from all that’s made till date. Apart from Shahid, the makers are looking to cast an A-List actor as the female lead. The pre-production work has begun and the film is all set to hit the big screen in 2025,” the source ended chat.
