Will Shahid Kapoor star in the Hindi remake of Telugu hit Arjun Reddy? Well, the actor has neither confirmed nor denied the reports but said he would be excited if the project came to him.
There were reports that Shahid was being considered for the title role of a man who goes down a path of self-destruction and alcoholism after a break-up. The 2017 film starred Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini Pandey.
When asked if he was doing the movie, Shahid quipped he had also heard the same and said he loved the Telugu original. "I'm very excited that it might come to me, that it might happen. You will hear an official announcement if anything happens," he told reporters.
Recently, in an interview, Arjun Reddy director Sandeep Reddy Vanga had confirmed the Padmaavat star will feature in the film. When asked about the same, Shahid said, "He also thinks I'm the right choice? Then, I have to think."
The actor was speaking at the 19th edition of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards voting weekend. Shahid was also supposed to reunite with Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali for a film this year. When asked about its status, the actor said, "It's not happening this year and we will probably work on something else."
Meanwhile, Shahid is all set to embrace fatherhood for the second time. His wife Mira Rajput is pregnant and the couple broke the news on social media in the cutest way possible. Shahid and Mira, who are already parents to 20-months-old Misha, shared a picture of their daughter alongside a caption, ''Big sister'', announcing they are expecting their second child.
