Shahid Kapoor to commence work on Ali Abbas Zafar’s next with action sequence

Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor is currently neck-deep in work. Right after wrapping up his next film Jersey, he started filming a yet-to-be-titled streaming show with filmmakers Raj and DK. Set at Amazon Prime Video, the show will mark his foray into the digital space. The actor called it a wrap on it recently and if reports are to be believed, he is now gearing up to move on to his next project.

A popular publication reports that Kapoor will start working on Ali Abbas Zafar’s next towards the end of the year. The film is said to be the official adaptation of the 2011 French film, Nuit Blanche (Sleepless Night).


Zafar has already begun the pre-production on the film, which sees Kapoor in the role of a cop chasing drug lords. During the first schedule of the film, he will shoot an elaborate action sequence. The team is scouting for junior artists and body doubles who will be part of the sequences.

A source close to the development tells the publication, “Shahid will begin his readings and prep next week before he reports to the set. Meanwhile, Ali is keeping the groundwork ready. The first schedule will be swift, shot across suburban Mumbai, particularly Goregaon.”

This is not the first time when Nuit Blanche has been remade in India. The film has previously been remade in Tamil and Telugu as Thoongaa Vanam and Cheekati Rajyam respectively, starring Kamal Haasan. Both films hit the marquee in 2015. It will be interesting to see how Shahid Kapoor pulls off the character of a cop in the Hindi remake of the film.

Why celebrity chat shows remain India’s favourite way to peek behind the curtain

Highlights:

  • Chat shows let us see stars up close.
  • It’s not gossip, it’s small personal moments.
  • Simi, Karan, and Kapil all changed the style.
  • OTT and regional shows give more relaxed chats.
  • Audiences keep watching because stars feel real.

So, Kajol and Twinkle Khanna’s show, Two Much, is already near its fourth episode. And people keep asking: why do we love watching stars sit on sofas so much? It’s not the gossip. Not really. We’re not paying for the gossip. We’re paying for the glimpse. For the little wobble in a voice, a tiny apology, a family story you recognise. It’s why Simi’s white sofa mattered once, why Karan’s sofa rattled the tabloids, and why Kapil’s stage made everyone feel at home. The chat show isn’t dead. It just keeps changing clothes.
