Actor Shahid Kapoor, who began 2018 on a high note with the thunderous success of Padmaavat, is currently shooting for Shree Narayan Singh's social-drama film Batti Gul Meter Chalu.
Recently, it was everywhere in the news that the Haider actor has been roped in for a new project to be helmed by Airlift fame Raja Krishna Menon. The latest update on the untitled venture is that it will be based on a true story and Shahid will essay the role of a boxer in it.
"Shahid is doing a sports-based film with Raja. He wanted to explore that space for quite some time. He plays a boxer who emerges triumphant against all odds in his life. He needs to have a particular physique to play the character convincingly and learn the techniques of boxing," a source reveals.
Besides an untitled film with Raja Krishna Menon, Shahid is also rumoured to be doing Prernaa Arora and Arjun N Kapoor's Woh Kaun Thi remake. He is expected to begin shooting for the remake after wrapping up Batti Gul Meter Chalu.
