Shahid kicks off final schedule of Rangoon, says he has so much to learn from Vishal

Mumbai: He is gearing up for the final leg of shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj's period drama 'Rangoon' and actor Shahid Kapoor says he still has so much to learn from the director.

Shahid, whose career touched new heights after working with Bhardwaj in 'Kaminey' and 'Haider', said he considers himself fortunate for being able to work with the national-award winning director thrice.

"Kicking off the final schedule for #Rangoon today. Will wrap the film in April. My third with the maestro Vishal sir. So much still to learn. Fortunate and blessed to have so many chances to work under him," he posted on Twitter.

'Rangoon' directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, is a classic tale that is set against the backdrop of World War II. The director who wanted to work on this subject since eight years now, promises that the film will have the musical charm of Moulin Rouge, the romance of Casablanca and the intensity of Saving Private Ryan.

In this love triangle, we’ll see Saif playing the character of a filmmaker, Kangana as an actress from the 40s and Shahid playing the role of an army officer. The makers of ‘Rangoon’ plan on releasing the film around October next year. The film is being produced by Sajid Nadiawala.
