Shahid Kapoor to kick off OTT film Operation Cactus after wrapping his maiden web series?

The Coronavirus induced lockdown severely affected the film industry but it did give a new lease of life to the OTT platforms. Several A-list stars have now jumped the bandwagon and have entered the digital space. One of them being Shahid Kapoor. The Kabir Singh actor will be making his digital debut with Raj-DK’s yet-untitled web series. And guess what? Apart from a web series, Shahid also has an OTT film, Operation Cactus lined up.

However, owing to the current lockdown in the state the shooting schedule of Shahid’s series and OTT film has gone for a toss. According to a report in Mid-Day, post the Goa schedule of Raj-DK’s series, the actor was supposed to shoot its new schedule in April. However, with the Maharashtra government announcing lockdown, the shooting was postponed.

Delay in one project is having its effect on Shahid’s other commitments. Talking about Shahid’s OTT film, a source told the daily, “The lockdown has played havoc with the dates of actors. Meanwhile, producer Amar Butala’s team is on standby. The pre-production of Operation Cactus is in full swing, and it will go on floors as soon as the leading man is available.”

Directed by Aditya Nimbalkar, the film will see Shahid play Brigadier Farukh Bulsara.
