Shahid Kapoor was expected to soon start shooting for an Imtiaz Ali-directed film and about it, the two couldn't contain their excitement. However, looks like the project has been put on hold. The duo is all set to work together after a good ten years after their first collaboration, 'Jab We Met' which went on to be a cult film. The film was all set to go on floors this year however, reports suggest that creative differences within the team over the film have led to a delay.
Talking about it, a source stated to a tabloid, "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." The source further said, "Imtiaz and Shahid may return to this project next year or maybe later."
Moreover, Imtiaz's spokesperson told a tabloid, "Imtiaz hasn’t made an official announcement about his next film or its cast. When he is ready to do so he will make the requisite announcement." Earlier, during an interaction with a leading daily, Ali spoke about the film saying, "The film is a human story. It’s 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, it will be different for me." "It’s not really decided (when the movie goes on floors), even the casting isn’t decided yet. Shahid and I have met and spoken about it but it’s not as if we have decided and signed anything at all. There’s nothing officially planned about it," he continued.
