Shahid Kapoor: Film with Vishal Bhardwaj set in ‘90s Mumbai, got quirks much like ‘Kaminey’

Shahid Kapoor spills the beans about his upcoming film with Vishal Bhardwaj

Actor Shahid Kapoor says it's a privilege to reunite with filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj for a fourth film, describing it as their "most open" project till date.

Kapoor, who previously collaborated with the acclaimed director on Kaminey, Haider, and Rangoon, said the new movie is a love story, set against the backdrop of the Mumbai underworld in the 1990s.

Much like 2009's Kaminey, the actor said the currently untitled film has a certain "quirkiness" to it.

"It's always been a privilege to work with Vishal sir. This is our most open film that we've made so far in terms of appeal and relatability... It's inherently a love story based against the backdrop of the Mumbai gangsters in the '90s...

"Like 'Kaminey', there's a quirk to the film... It has a certain uniqueness to the world, which in moments will feel a little heightened, which is very interesting," Shahid told PTI in an interview here.

Bhardwaj's film also stars Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar and Randeep Hooda with Vikrant Massey in a special appearance.

The 43-year-old actor, who is awaiting the release of Deva, said he is happy about working with such a stellar cast.
