Once Again! Shahid Kapoor to romance Alia Bhatt in Mahesh Bhatt’s next?

Last year, Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt had teamed up for Vikas Bahl’s romantic drama ‘Shandaar’ and what a flop film it was! The audiences had high expectations from the film but, Shahid and Alia failed to live up to these expectations of the audience and the result of this was that the movie did not even incur the production cost of the film with it’s disastrous box-office collections. Despite this, we have now learnt that Shahid and Alia are set to pair up once again for a film.

If reports are to be believed then, Alia Bhatt and Shahid Kapoor would feature in the remake of 1991’s hit film ‘Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi.’ The film which was a super hit then starred Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt in the lead role. Now, that the sequel of this cult film is in the process a source reveals that the filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt daughter Alia Bhatt is keen to don the hat of the leading lady in the film which was then played by her elder step-sister Pooja Bhatt. A source says,”Alia is very keen to be directed by Bhatt saab just once. She feels that the remake of Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin is the best occasion for it. But Bhatt saab is adamant too. He will get someone else to direct the film, but will write it himself.”

Well, it would be really interesting to see Alia stepping in the shoes of Pooja Bhatt and directed by Mahesh Bhatt. Talking about Shahid, so what his film ‘Shandaar’ didn’t fair well at the box-office? We do not have a doubt on his capabilities as an actor. He has proved himself time and again by performing spectacularly in films like ‘Kaminey,’ ‘Haider’ and many more. So we are sure that Shahid would do justice to Aamir Khan’s role in ‘Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi.’

As of now, Shahid is gearing up for his next film ‘Rangoon’ whereas Alia Bhatt is busy with her next ‘Kapoor & Sons.’
