Actor Shahid Kapoor’s action film with director Ali Abbas Zafar is finally complete and is set to release sometime this year. Presented by Jim Studios along with Zafar’s AAZ Films, Offside Entertainment and The Vermillion World, the yet-untitled is billed as a “stylised relentless action-packed ride.”
Talking about the movie, Shahid said the film is a departure from the “typical” action movies. He said, “Ali’s film is ready. It is a kind of action that I have not done before. It is new for me and him. It is an edgy action, not like the typical one, it has a quirk to it.” He added, “It (doing action) is very tiring and I have lost a lot of weight. I had a great time working on it. Ali and I have known each other for a decade and we decided to collaborate on this. It will come out this year.”
On the work front, Shahid is all set to make his OTT debut with Prime Video series from ‘The Family Man’ creators Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. He also signed to play a paratrooper in an action film titled ‘Bull’, which is inspired by events from the life of Brigadier Bulsara.
Shahid is currently awaiting the release of the Hindi remake of the National Award-winning Telugu sports drama, ‘Jersey’. The 41-year-old said he is grateful for the varied offers coming his way but it is difficult to find interesting opportunities all the time. Shahid said, “I have a film coming out two-and-half years after a super successful film without having another release. It is great for me.”
