Director Sujoy Ghosh, known for serving edge-of-the-seat thrillers like Kahaani and Badla, is reportedly cooking up a storm with none other than Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor. And yes, this comes after Sujoy stepped away from the much-talked-about Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan starrer King. The question is, will this dream duo finally make it happen?
Sujoy Ghosh and Shahid Kapoor join hands?
Once upon a time in 2021, Sujoy Ghosh and Shahid Kapoor were set to team up for a thriller. But alas, scheduling conflicts rained on their parade. Fast forward to 2024, and the buzz is back, with insiders claiming the two are aligning their schedules to revive the project. Word on the street? It’s going to be a thriller, the kind Sujoy aces and Shahid kills it.
But before you get too excited, there’s a plot twist! According to a source quoted by Hindustan Times, Shahid’s team has rubbished the collaboration rumors. Is this a classic Bollywood “we’re keeping it hush-hush” moment, or is the project really a no-go? Only time will tell.
The source shared, “Shahid was interested in the script earlier, but the timing wasn’t right. Now, both Sujoy and he are making it a priority to align their schedules and bring it to life.”
Shahid Kapoor’s Jam-Packed Calendar
While we wait for official confirmation on this thriller collab, Shahid’s plate is already full. The actor is gearing up for Deva, directed by Rosshan Andrrews, co-starring Pooja Hegde, and hitting theatres on January 31, 2025. But wait, there’s more! Shahid is also teaming up with Triptii Dimri for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Arjun Ustara. And if that wasn’t enough, rumours suggest he’s signed on for Dinesh Vijan’s Cocktail 2, with Rashmika Mandanna as his leading lady.
Meanwhile, Sujoy Ghosh and SRK’s King Gets a New Captain
If you’re wondering what happened to Sujoy’s original plan to direct King, the Shah Rukh Khan starrer has now landed in the capable hands of Siddharth Anand (Pathaan fame). Featuring Suhana Khan, Abhay Verma, and Abhishek Bachchan, King is set to roll in March 2025, with a mega Eid 2026 release. It’ll clash with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War. Bollywood’s box office battles are about to get juicier than ever!
Bollywood is in for some major fireworks, whether it’s King, Deva, or this potential thriller. Stay tuned, because next year is only going to get better.
