Confirmed: Shahid Kapoor in Dingko Singh Biopic

Dingko Singh Biopic: Director Raja Krishna Menon CONFIRMS Shahid Kapoor Will Be A Part But With Some Delay!

Shahid Kapoor made everyone sit up and take note of his immaculate acting chops yet again with his latest venture, Kabir Singh, also featuring Kiara Advani!

And now, there have been reports doing round that the actor's next venture, a biopic on boxer Ngangom Dingko Singh, has been shelved. However, a leading entertainment portal, SpotBoyE, has now reported that the director of the biopic, Raja Krishna Menon, also the man being films like Said Ali Khan starrer Chef and Akshay Kumar’s Airlift, has only postponed the film and not shelved it.

Speaking about the same, the portal has quoted Menon saying, “We are both committed to this movie. It’s not shelved, neither am I looking for any other actor. It’s just that we are on hold.”

The filmmaker further revealed, “We were supposed to start in early 2019, but could not complete the script in all respects. This, in turn, delayed the project. Now, Shahid Kapoor has given a mega hit Kabir Singh and to be honest he wants to dwell a little deeper on which film he should take up next. But this does not mean that he is not doing the Dingko Singh biopic with me. I repeat, it’s not shelved. We shall go with it, but yes, not this year.”

For the unreserved, Dingko is a boxing legend that not many know about. What’s more is that the boxer is the first and only Asian gold medalist boxer from our country in the Bantamweight category. A cancer survivor, Dingko, has won the King’s cup in Bangkok in 1997. He has also bagged a Gold medal at the Asian Games in the 1998. He is service personnel of the Indian Navy.

It will be a great decision if Shahid eventually doesn't take the Dear Comrade remake project as he already played a role done by VD and also the movie's character looks very similar to Kabir Singh with his anger management issues. Rather doing this biopic will bring more versatility in Shahid's roles .

Dingko is actually a very angry man himself, so it remains to see whether they will include that part in the movie or not. He is a flawed man who used to beat up athletes to discipline them, it was just when he hit a girl and she complained, when he got suspended.
