Shahid to replace Hrithik in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Kabaddi?

Mumbai: Shahid Kapoor’s last release might have been the disastrous Vishal Bhardwaj directorial ‘Rangoon,’ but the actor has still got the best of directors lining up to work with him.

The latest to join the list is none other than Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.

Shahid, who’s awaiting the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly controversial ‘Padmavati,’ has signed Shree Narayan Singh’s ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu,’ and is now reportedly all set to star in Mehra’s ‘Kabaddi’.

The film was initially slated to star Hrithik Roshan. Incidentally, Hrithik has signed Vikas Bahl’s ‘Super 30,’ which was initially rumoured to headline Shahid Kapoor.

According to rumours, Shahid was spotted outside Mehra’s office recently.

Mehra is currently working on ‘Fanney Khan,’ starring Rajkummar Rao, Aishwarya Rai bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
