After the success of Shaitaan, director Bejoy Nambiar is in no mood to relax, it seems. While still working on his second directorial venture David, he has already roped in Shahid Kapoor for his next untitled project. "Yes, Shahid and I are working on something. We will start working on the film once I am done with David," Bejoy told IANS.

The director was reluctant to reveal the theme of his film and said: "I am nowhere close to the project right now. I am only focusing on 'David'. I can't reveal the genre of the film. Nothing has been decided yet."

Shahid Kapoor is surely the epitome of forgetfulness. Letting bygones be, he not only paired up with ex-flame Priyanka Chopra for Kunal Kohli's "Teri Meri Kahaani", but now is all set to work with PC's cousin, Parineeti, in Maneesh Sharma's next.

The "Band Baaja Baaraat" director has finalized Parineeti, who debuted with Ranveer Singh in "Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl", for his film.

Opportunity knocks at your door just once, they say. However, for Shahid Kapoor, a chance to work with Dharma Productions has presented itself not once but thrice.

The actor, who couldn't work in Karan Johar's Kaal in 2005 had to wait seven years to be offered another film from the production house. Sadly, due to date issues, the actor had to opt out of the Punit Malhotra directorial as well. Shahid had then said, “I hope it doesn't take us another seven years to work again.” And thankfully, his wish has just come true albeit with a little prodding by the actor himself.

He has largely been known as the chocolate boy in Bollywood. But Shahid Kapoor is set to undergo a transformation for UTV’s Hindi remake of the Tamil action venture, Vettai. Released this January, The Arya-R Madhavan starrer was produced by the same banner. Shahid is likely to play the part
related stories originally portrayed by Arya.

When contacted, Siddharth Roy Kapoor, UTV Motion Pictures’ CEO confirms: “Yes, we are in advanced discussions with Shahid, but till we make a formal announcement, I wouldn’t like to say much about the cast.” N Lingusamy will apparently direct the Hindi remake too, while Madhavan may also reprise his role.

The makers of the actor's next rom-com are apparently looking for two new faces opposite him. The makers of Shahid Kapoor's next are not just looking for one but two new girls opposite the actor.

After launching Anushka Sharma in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Aditya Chopra has decided to cast new faces in the Maneesh Sharma rom-com that starts later this August. According to sources associated with the movie, the Chopras are on the look out for two, very diverse girls. "Keeping in mind the kind of story it is, with two female leads, the Chopras want to ensure that the casting is right.

Now it can be told! Like some of his senior colleagues, Shahid Kapoor has consented to do a remake of a South Indian film. UTV's Tamil film VETTAI, starring Arya and R. Madhavan, will now be remade in Hindi, with Shahid essaying Arya's part in the remake. N. Linguswamy, the director of VETTAI, will direct the Hindi version as well.

Reportedly, a screening of the film was held for Shahid a few days ago and the actor agreed to be a part of the remake instantly. So much so that he has even allotted dates to the producers of the film [filming begins from mid-April onwards]. "In fact, Shahid has decided to push other assignments ahead to accommodate the remake," a trustworthy source informs me. Meanwhile, UTV is in the process of finalizing the second lead [R. Madhavan's part] of this remake.

UTV is all set to remake south super hit Vettai in Hindi. We heard the makers are keen to sign Shahid in the lead role. When most actors - from Salman Khan to Akshay Kumar - are open to doing South remakes, why not Shahid Kapoor?

Originally directed by N Lingusamy, Vettai released last month and became a big hit too. Looking at the success of the film producers have decided to remake the movie in Hindi with the same director.

Shahid Kapoor appears pretty relaxed and cool at his home in Versova. His dog Kaizer keeps a close watch.
"You know what to expect from him if you ask me nasty questions," he grins. But he doesn't need the canine. He fields all queries with utmost comfort. Read on for excerpts...

How's 2012 looking for you? I've decided to do three films a year from here on, but where are the scripts? I reject most of the ones offered to me. There are three films in the offing currently. I am doing Maneesh Sharma's film for Yash Raj Films. There's also Kunal Kohli's Teri Meri Kahani (working title).

After signing his first film with Karan Johar and getting back into the YRF camp, Shahid Kapoor has treated himself to a custom-made red Jaguar five days back. And the specially made XKRS has cost him close to a one and half crore.

His new Jag has made Shahid a part of the elite club of Bollywood comprising Ekta Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Karan Johar, Hrithik Roshan, who already own a model of this British luxury car.

Just as the actor lands his first KJo project with Punit Malhotra, his Mausam co-star officially walks out of it. Bad weather forecast? Shahid Kapoor's single status seems to be working in his favour, especially for his professional life.

The actor was slated to work on his first Dharma Production in 2005 in Karan Johar's Kaal. But due to the cold war between his then girlfriend Kareena Kapoor and KJo, Shahid reportedly opted out of the venture.

It's funny and sad how one Friday can change relationships, clout and equations. There are flops and then there's Anjaana Anjaani. The thundering fiasco had a Tsunami-like effect on the talented Siddharth Anand's career. There was an immediate fall-out with producer Sajid Nadiadwala, who had assigned the direction of the Chetan Bhagat novel '2 States' to Siddharth. The offer was quickly passed on to Vishal Bhardwaj.

Anjaana Anjaani's leading man Ranbir Kapoor who also happens to be Siddharth's childhood friend and therefore Siddharth had the singular privilege of directing Ranbir in two films, also opted out of future project with his bachpan ka saathi.

They remain one of Bollywood's biggest mysteries. Were Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor dating? Bollywood says yes, of course, but the stars themselves never accepted the situation and screamed their single status from the rooftops.

Though when the fever was reportedly at its pitch, Priyanka and Shahid sizzled in Kaminey, and the world which always loves a pair of lovers, sighed in satisfaction at this new jodi. For the media, of course, this was all grist to the mill... and from every sighting of the couple to their recent alleged break-up, it all made news. Now comes the twist in the tale.Enter Kunal Kohli, with a script for which he has signed Shahid and now wants Priyanka.

The news can now be told. After having cast the teenage heartthrob Shahid Kapoor as the 'Ranjha' in his next film titled Heer And Ranjha, director Sabbir Khan has pulled off a casting coup by roping in Deepika Padukone as 'Heer'.

Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Sabbir explained, "Once I finished scripting, I felt that the Heer's part needed somebody who is young and dynamic, as it's totally an author backed role.
