Is Shahid Kapoor playing the lead in ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’ director’s next?

After hitting the bull’s eye with his latest directorial venture ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha, filmmaker Shree Narayan Singh is already in the news for his next project. After working with a superstar like Akshay Kumar in his previous film, reports are being heard that the director is all set to collaborate with actor Shahid Kapoor for this upcoming project. Although, Singh hasn’t yet divulged the name of any actor, he did say that he has approached many for his next movie.

While giving an interview to The Indian Express, Shree Narayan Singh said, “I have been meeting a lot of people so I don’t know where did this rumour come from. Nothing is concrete and so I can’t comment right now.” [sic] (Also Read: ‘I am sad for the film not doing well,’ says Shahid Kapoor on failure of ‘Rangoon’)

Further, the director even revealed that he has a few concepts for his next, but is yet to finalise on one idea for his third film (as a director). “I am taking a vacation right now. I have a few ideas but will only decide on the one for my next project, when I return to Mumbai in September,” added the director. [sic]

Well, it would be quite interesting to see the team up of Shahid Kapoor with the director, if the reports turn out to be true.

Currently, Shahid is busy shooting for filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus ‘Padmavati’ where he is playing the role of Raja Rawal Ratan Singh. The film stars Deepika Padukone playing the title role and Ranveer Singh in the role of Sultan Alauddin Khilji.

The film is slated to release on November 17, 2017.
