Shahid Kapoor’s next film with the Yash Raj stable is in a spot of bother, with director Manish Sharma suffering a slipped disc. Shahid, we hear, had even allotted his dates over the next six months. But then, Manish of Band Bajaa Baraat fame suffered a slipped disc and the film’s schedules were tossed away until July at least.
But just when Shahid was drawing up plans of twiddling his thumbs, in stepped UTV. Shahid was supposed to start work on UTV’s remake of Vettai later this year, and he has asked them to bring its schedule forward by a few months, perhaps the first time an actor is insisting the production house advance its dates. “There was no point in wasting precious dates. Six months is a long time and Shahid wanted to use that chunk smartly,” says a source close to Shahid.
UTV, on their part, is overjoyed at this proactive approach used by an actor. “It’s a commendable effort on Shahid’s part. He has taken the initiative and is ensuring that Vettai gains momentum. Normally producers are chasing actors to give dates. That Shahid should do the reverse speaks volumes about his professionalism,” says our source from the production.
