Last seen in the box-office smash Kabir Singh (2019), Shahid Kapoor is undoubtedly in the best phase of his career. The actor has received some great movie offers lately. And if reports are to be believed, he has already greenlighted a couple of interesting projects to be made by some of the biggest names from the industry, including an action entertainer with filmmaker Shashank Khaitan for Dharma Productions.
The latest we hear that Kapoor has now added a digital project to his resume. He has reportedly given his nod to star in filmmaker duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK’s next web series for Amazon Prime Video.
Sharing some more details, a source informs a publication, “Shahid has signed the yet-untitled show and is currently working out on the dates as the shooting timelines for Raj & DK show are coinciding with Khaitan’s Yoddha. Shahid has given his dates from February 2021 to Go Goa Gone (2013) directors and it is very likely that it will be his immediate next to get off the ground unless Khaitan agrees to start and finish his action drama in between.”
Sources in the know reveal that the upcoming series will have to seasons. It will be a quirky action thriller series having usual comic undertones. Interestingly, Kapoor has also been approached to ink an exclusive multi-project deal with another streaming media giant Netflix. It will be interesting to see whether the actor will go on to mark his digital debut with Amazon Prime Video or Netflix.

Nobody saw Charli XCX coming during Role Model’s Saturday Night Live slot. She just walked on stage.
Her choice of a Max's Kansas City t-shirt immediately set fan theories alight.
Swifties linked the top to Taylor Swift’s fiancé, NFL star Travis Kelce.
It turns out, the whole thing was far simpler because she grabbed the shirt from Role Model himself.
A simple t-shirt choice during a surprise cameo has sent the pop world into a spin. Charli XCX appeared on Saturday Night Live this weekend, joining musical guest Role Model for his performance, and fans are convinced her outfit contained a pointed message for Taylor Swift. The British singer’s Max’s Kansas City top, seen during the broadcast, is being widely interpreted as a new chapter in their rumoured feud, following pointed lyrics on both of their latest records.
Fans think Charli XCX trolled Taylor Swift with Kansas City shirt during surprise SNL cameo Instagram/rolemodel
What happened during the SNL performance?
The moment happened during Role Model’s set. As he sang his track Sally, When the Wine Runs Out, he called out for his ‘Sally’. On cue, Charli XCX emerged through the stage doors to a roar from the crowd, dancing through the bridge of the song. She was in full brat mode, no surprise there. A black leather skirt, those boots, the tights. But the beat-up band shirt she had borrowed? That is what did it.

So, why is the internet losing its collective mind over a t-shirt?
Well, if you are deep in the pop gossip sphere, it makes perfect sense. Taylor Swift’s whole world lately seems to include Kansas City, thanks to her fiancé Travis Kelce playing for the Chiefs. So, when you see ‘Kansas City’ printed across Charli’s chest right after all this feud chatter? It does not look like a coincidence. It looks like a shot.
Social media lit up instantly, with fans calling the move "the tea" and calling the situation "actually romantic," a direct nod to the song from Swift’s new album The Life of a Showgirl that many believe is about Charli.

So was the shirt really a jab at Taylor Swift?
Not according to the facts. Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, quickly clarified on his Instagram Story that Charli had simply borrowed the shirt from him. He had worn the very same Max’s Kansas City top, a reference to a famed New York nightclub, not the Missouri city, in promotional material for the episode. His own sophomore album is titled Kansas Anymore, making the shirt a piece of his own branding. Despite this explanation, the visual symbolism in the heat of the rumoured feud was simply too powerful for fans to ignore.
