The hit director-actor pair of Jab We Met, Shahid Kapoor and Imtiaz Ali, were to reunite after a decade for another love story that would kick off in April in Mumbai. It was eventually decided that the film would be shot through July and August as Shahid is currently busy with Shree Narayan Singh's social-drama film Batti Gul Meter Chalu in Tehri, Uttarakhand, also featuring Shraddha Kapoor in the lead and Yami Gautam in a pivotal role.

Meanwhile, the actor who was supposed to start shooting for Imtiaz's film immediately after wrapping up Batti Gul Meter Chalu had already blocked his dates for the film, but now he is also reading other scripts as this one is taking time now.

"Shahid and Imtiaz may return to this project next year or maybe later," the source added. Imtiaz's spokesperson said, "Imtiaz hasn't made an official announcement about his next film or its cast. When he is ready to do so he will make the requisite announcement."

Talking about Batti Gul Meter Chalu, Kapoor was about to complete his shoot but due to his ill health returned to Mumbai from Tehri. A source revealed, "Shahid was feeling unwell, but continued with the shoot nonetheless. His sore throat got aggravated as he had to deliver a dialogue in a high pitch. By Tuesday, he was down with high fever. It was then that the doctor recommended that he take rest. He was also advised to not strain his vocal cords. So, the shoot was canceled for the day".

The source further added, "Shahid had barely three days of work left in this schedule".

We wonder when the actor will start filming for Imtiaz's next as we cannot wait to watch this hit-pair to create their magic on-screen after almost 11 years.
