    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.
