Looking at his dedication towards learning the skill before stepping into the shoes for each of his characters, he is now finally done with this historical character as he moves on to start preparing for his next project ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu’. Reportedly, this film will see him playing a local from Uttarakhand.

Highly impressed with his dedication, the producer Prernaa Arora quoted to Deccan Chronicle, “I have rarely seen such passion and dedication in any actor. Shahid is completely involved in getting his character right.”
