Imtiaz Ali to put his next with Shahid Kapoor on hold

Actor-director duo, Shahid Kapoor and Imtiaz Ali, was set to join forces after their blockbuster film Jab We Met, which released in 2007. However, if sources are to be believed, the film is not going to start rolling anytime soon.

“The script was a little edgy and even though Shahid loved it, the producers approached were somewhat sceptical about its experimental nature. Shahid and Imtiaz met recently and have decided to keep this film on the backburner for now," reveals a source.


Talking about the film, Imtiaz had earlier said that his next is a human story which, like most of his films, does not unfold over a journey. “The film is a human story. It’s set in one place. If I can tell you one thing, it would be that it is not a travel-oriented film, which is a good thing for me,” he had said.

Imtiaz was about to begin the film in July and wrap it by August as Shahid Kapoor is currently busy with his next Batti Gul Meter Chalu, which is being helmed by Shree Narayan Singh. But looks like that the duo will have to wait until the producers greenlight the project. In case, the producers don't give their nod to the untitled film, Imtiaz might come up with another script to work with Kapoor.
