Shahid to star in Heer Ranjha

Though Shahid Kapoor had taken a year off to work with his father Pankaj Kapur on Mausam (probably a smart decision considering the hard task master Pankaj is), he has signed another film.
Shahid has signed Sajid Nadiadwala’s next film, tentatively titled Heer Ranjha, which will be directed by Sabir Khan (who made Kambakth Ishq). Our source said, “The actor is extremely passionate about his father’s film Mausam.While working on the film, he did not sign another.
He was rejecting every offer that came his way. Initially he didn’t want any distraction. Later, he signed Sabir Khan’s next.
Apparently, Shahid loved the script of the film. The leading lady of the film is yet to be finalised. The film will go on floors in February next year. Shahid will be working with Sajid for the first time.
Sajid has films lined up with many A-listers, like Kick with Salman Khan, Imtiaz Ali’s next with Hrithik Roshan, Housefull sequel with Akshay Kumar, Siddarth Anand’s next with Saif Ali Khan and Anjaana Anjaani, which is ready for release.” Wonder if that prompted Shahid to sign the film; both he and Sajid remained unavailable for comment though.
