About Kaminey:
The 2009 action film 'Kaminey' was written and directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and produced by Ronnie Screwvala under UTV Motion Pictures. The movie also featured Priyanka Chopra and Amole Gupte in the lead roles. Set against the backdrop of the Mumbai underworld, 'Kaminey' followed a rivalry between a pair of twins, one with a lisp and the other with a stutter, over the course of a single day.
The soundtrack of the movie composed by Vishal Bhardwaj, with lyrics written by Gulzar, featured eight tracks and had topped the charts across various platforms. The album included hit songs like 'Dhan Te Nan', 'Fatak', 'Raat Ke Dhai Baje', and 'Pehli Baar Mohabbat'.
Shahid Kapoor's Chhatrapati Shivaji Biopic Shelved:
Shahid Kapoor's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj has been officially shelved. Director Amit Rai, best known for OMG 2, confirmed the news in a recent interview with Mid-Day. He also expressed his frustration with the film industry's systemic issues.
In an interview with Mid-Day, director Amit Rai said, 'The system is so cruel. Even if you have proved your mettle with a R180 crore film [OMG 2], it's not enough. How is a director supposed to work here, under these systems of casting, production, star, and management? You live with a story for five years, and within minutes, somebody writes a five-pager, pointing out what is wrong and what is right in the film."
Shahid Kapoor's work front:
Shahid made his debut with 2003 romantic comedy film 'Ishq Vishk', directed by Ken Ghosh. The film also starred Amrita Rao and Shenaz Treasurywala. He then went on to star in movies like 'Fida', 'Dil Maange More', '36 China Town', 'Vivah', 'Jab We Met', 'Kismat Konnection', 'Phata Poster Nikhla Hero', 'Haider', 'Padmaavat', 'Kabir Singh', 'Jersey', among others.
Shahid Kapoor's last big-screen appearance was in Deva, a remake of the Malayalam film Mumbai Police. In the action thriller, the actor plays a rogue cop trying to solve a murder case while also looking for a mole in his department.
Shahid Kapoor is currently busy with the shoot of Vishal Bhardwaj's next. A high-voltage box office clash is likely to happen at box office in December this year. The makers of Shahid Kapoor's next has reportedly decided to stick to the original release date of the upcoming film, despite major competition from Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar and Prabhas' much-anticipated The Raja Saab. There is no intention of altering the film's release, setting the stage for a massive three-way showdown.
Lining up an eventful few months ahead, the source also shared, 'Right after the Vishal Bhardwaj film, Shahid starts shooting for Cocktail 2 with Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna. He also has Farzi 2 in the pipeline, scheduled to take off by December-end/early-January."
