verge of completion, even before the film
hits the screens, the actor-director duo of
the film have decided to join hands once
again. This time around, Shree Narayan
Singh and Shahid Kapoor will be venturing
into the thriller genre which is also new to
the filmmaker since both his films by far are
based on social issues.
Speaking on the same to media, Shree
Narayan Singh revealed that after Batti Gul
Meter Chalu he shares a great comfort level
with Shahid Kapoor, which prompted him
to approach him for the role. Set in Uttar
Pradesh, the film is yet to get its leading
lady. On the other hand, Singh has
maintained that they are in no hurry to start
the film since Shahid Kapoor has to
complete other film commitments.
Shree Narayan Singh revealed in media
reports that Batti Gul Meter Chalu has only a
week of shoot left for the film to wrap up.
Besides this, Shahid Kapoor also has Arjun
Reddy remake and the Raja Krishna Menon
directorial which features Shahid in the role
of a boxer. While the actor has a packed
schedule until the end of 2018, this UP
thriller with Shree Narayan Singh is
expected to go on floor in 2019.
Explaining that the film is set in the
heartland of India, Singh asserted in reports
that it is something that no one has ever
attempted before in the past.
Talking about Batti Gul Meter Chalu, the
shoot of the film was delayed after there
was a rift in the team owing to the non-
payment of dues by KriArj Entertainment.
With them quitting as producers, Bhushan
Kumar of T-Series has taken over the film
completely.
Based on the surged electricity bills and the
corruption of power companies, the film
features Shahid Kapoor in the role of a
lawyer with Shraddha Kapoor playing his
leading lady. Yami Gautam too will be seen
as the lawyer in this film. The film is slated
to release on August 31.
