Fans Will Have To Wait Long To See Shahid Kapoor In Imtiaz Ali’s Next

For all those waiting to see Shahid Kapoor and Imtiaz Ali weave magic on-screen yet again, your wait just got longer. According to Mumbai Mirror, the film they had planned together is not working out following creative differences within the team over the script.

A source told the daily, “The script was a little edgy and even though Shahid loved it, the producers approached were somewhat skeptical about its experimental nature. Shahid and Imtiaz met recently and have decided to keep this film on the backburner for now.”

The venture was supposed to kick-off in Mumbai in April and was to be followed by an extensive shoot, both in India and abroad.

Imtiaz is now looking to start work on a new script after he returns from his vacation in the Maldives. Meanwhile, Shahid, who was supposed to start shooting for Imtiaz’s film immediately after wrapping up KriArj Entertainment’s Batti Gul Meter Chalu, and had already blocked his dates for the film, is also reading other scripts as this one is a no-go.

“Imtiaz and Shahid may return to this project next year or maybe later,” the source added.

Imtiaz’s spokesperson told the daily, “Imtiaz hasn’t made an official announcement about his next film or its cast. When he is ready to do so he will make the requisite announcement.”

Furthermore, SpotboyE.com had exclusively told you that Rajkummar Rao was also set to star in the film in question.

Well, we can’t wait for Shahid-Imtiaz to reunite. After, their last film Jab We Met is one of the most memorable films of our times.
