According to sources cited by Pinkvilla, the 42-year-old actor is currently engaged in discussions with filmmaker Amit Rai, renowned for his directorial role in 'OMG 2.'

Producers are actively seeking collaborations with studios and financiers, hinting that the movie is slated to become one of the most significant and expensive productions in Indian cinema.

While the historical project remains on the horizon, Shahid Kapoor is gearing up for the release of 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya,' scheduled to hit theaters on February 9, 2024. The film, written and directed by Amit Joshi and Aradhana Shah, explores the journey of Aryan, played by Shahid Kapoor, who finds himself entangled in a unique love story with Sifra, a humanoid robot portrayed by Kriti Sanon.

Having last graced the big screen in 'Farzi' and 'Bloody Daddy,' Shahid Kapoor's cinematic journey promises a dynamic shift, encompassing romance and history. As fans eagerly await the release of 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya,' the prospect of witnessing Shahid Kapoor bring the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to life adds an extra layer of excitement to his already illustrious career.
