  • Shahid Kapoor’s look in Vishal Bhardwaj’s next revealed

    Shahid Kapoor’s look in Vishal Bhardwaj’s next revealed

    MUMBAI: Actor Shahid Kapoor’s best came out in the 2009-film Kaminey  where he played a double role of twin brothers – Charlie and Guddu – one stuttered and the other lisped. The director of the film Vishal Bhardwaj was given the credit for bringing out the hidden talent of Kapoor. Since then the industry as well as the fans of both the actor and the director have been waiting for them to reunite.

     

    It seems to be the right time to look forward to something interesting from the duo as the much awaited first look of their next movie together is out. Haider, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s popular work – Hamlet, is a film by Vishal Bhardwaj and Disney UTV.

     

    The actor’s first look in the film that was released today shows him in a neat buzz-cut for the role of a desi Hamlet. Shahid  says, “I believe in the script and have completely surrendered to Vishal sir’s vision on my character and my look.”

     

    Being shot in Kashmir, Haider is Vishal’s last film of his trilogy based on William Shakespeare’s tragedies.

     

    “Disney UTV Studios’ previous association with Vishal Bhardwaj and Shahid Kapoor delivered the cult box office hit Kaminey. The audiences have long awaited the next installment from this team, and in Haider we believe the audiences will find the wait was well worth it. With an incredible ensemble of actors including Tabu, Shraddha Kapur and Kay Kay Menon, this Shakespearean interpretation set against the backdrop of militancy in Kashmir, has some remarkable performances and great music. We believe Haider will be a worthy successor to Maqbool and Omkara,” says Disney UTV Studios Creative Director Amar Butala.

     

    Haider is set to release on September 12 this year and stars Tabu, Shraddha Kapur and Kay Kay Menon alongside Shahid Kapoor.

    The Aashiqui 2 fame Shraddha Kapoor is indeed going places. After witnessing a massive turnaround in her career post the film, she has now been signed opposite Akshay Kumar for Gabbar. The development is close on the heels of her giving a nod of approval to Shahid Kapoor’s Haider.

     

    Producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali was quite positive about Shraddha making the cut since he felt the pretty girl carried just the right kind of innocence that the character demanded.

     

    This will be Shraddha first movie in the big league opposite a superstar like Akshay. Incidentally each of her next three films, The Villain, Haider and now Gabbar, has the leading man in the title, playing the central protagonist.

     

    Not too long ago a certain Sonakshi Sinha also started on the similar lines with Dabangg, Rowdy Rathore and Son of Sardaar; so Shraddha seems to be having a gameplan.

    Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Tabu have been roped in for Vishal Bhardwaj’s ambitious next in line Shakespeare trilogy Haider, an Indian adaptation of Hamlet.

     

    While Tabu has already been a part of this trilogy as Lady Macbeth in Vishal’s Maqbool in 2003, Shahid will be pairing up with the director after the 2009 film Kaminey.

     

    The Kapoor boy will be essaying the lead role of Hamlet while Shraddha and Tabu’s role are still being kept under wraps.

     

    Hamlet is the story of a son of a former king who takes revenge from his uncle and the then King Claudius for snatching away the throne by murdering his father.

     

    The Indian version of this Shakespeare tragedy will be shot in the beautiful locales around Kashmir and is slated to go on floors by the end of 2013.
