Shahid Kapoor to play a double role in Aneez Bazmee next; paperwork to be completed by March
Yes! If a report by Pinkvilla is something to go by, then Shahid is all set to play a double role for the first time in his career. A source close to the development told, “Shahid Kapoor is a fan of the double-role comedy genre and is excited to embark on a new journey with Anees Bazmee, who through his career has written several classics in this space. Shahid and Anees have been discussing the script, and a final narration is expected to take place by the end of this month.” The report also stated that the paperwork will be sorted by March.
Sharing further details, the source added, “Anees and Shahid are targeting to take the film on floors by June/July this year. By then, Shahid would have wrapped up shooting for his yet untitled film with Maddock and the Siddharth Roy Kapur production, which is the official remake of Malayalam Classic, Mumbai Police.” The flick is expected to have elements of music and action as well. “It’s a multi-genre film with comedy at the forefront. The genre falls in the same zone as Ready, but this time, in a double role zone,” asserted the source.
Speaking of the female lead, the report quoted the source saying, “The team is keen to cast an A-List actress for the film. In fact, they are already in conversation with two of the top actresses in today’s time. The female lead too will be locked by the end of this month.”
While the confirmation is awaited, Shahid Kapoor will be marking his digital debut on February 10 with Raj and DK’s show, Farzi.
