Superstar Shahid Kapoor, who is riding high on the massive success of his recently released period film Padmaavat, is currently shooting for his next Batti Gul Meter Chalu, which is being bankrolled by Prernaa Arora and Arjun N Kapoor of KriArj Entertainment.
According to sources, Shahid has signed a three-film deal with the production house and after wrapping up Batti Gul Meter Chalu, he might work in KriArj's next which will be a remake of Manoj Kumar and Sadhana's 1964 film Woh Kaun Thi.
Prernaa Arora and Arjun N Kapoor have recently acquired the remake rights of the classic film along with its two iconic songs. The producers want to start the film as soon as possible. They are just waiting for the completion of Shahid's Batti Gul Meter Chalu. The latest update on the project is that before signing it officially, Shahid will visit veteran actor Manoj Kumar to seek his blessings.
“Shahid feels it’s only proper to touch base with the original cast and crew. But not many people associated with the original are still alive. Director Raj Khosla and music director Madan Mohan are no longer with us, and neither is Sadhana, who played the ethereal spirit. This leaves Manoj Kumar. Shahid will meet him, as this version of Woh Kaun Thi is meant to be a tribute to the original," says a source.
