Talking about the Magadheera remake, Shahid Kapoor told Indian Express, “I have been wanting to do Magadheera for the longest. I have seen the film and loved it…..I think it’s a killer subject. I am aware about this news that I will be doing the film, but I cannot substantiate it as I don’t want to talk about anything prematurely. If you read the story that was published, there were no quotes from anybody. But maybe at some point ….”
In another interview during the press conference of ‘Udta Punjab’, the ‘Jab We Met’ star declined the news and said, “I am not doing that film anymore. Right now, after Rangoon, I am unemployed.”
On the work front, director SS Rajamouli is gearing up for the release of RRR starring, Ram Charan, Jr. NTR, Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn. While, Shahid Kapoor has a number of films on the pipeline including Jersey, Bull, Abbas Zafar’s untitled film and others.
