An actor, who is supposed to handle so many things like film shooting, promotions and tours at the same time, has to naturally be a master at the art of multi-tasking. However, actor Shahid Kapoor, who was last seen in romantic flick Teri Meri Kahaani, claims that he is very bad at it.
In a recent interview, Kapoor was quoted saying that he envies girls as they are good at multi-tasking while he cannot even remember things that happened a day before. Kapoor went on to add that he really wants to learn to be good at multi-tasking, though he knows that he cannot be so.
Kapoor, who has mostly played chocolate boy roles in the past (with the possible exception of Kaminey) will be next seen in a massy action flick titled Namak, which will be directed by Prabhu Deva, who has helmed other hits like Wanted and Rowdy Rathore in the past.
Actor Shahid Kapoor, who has mostly played chocolate boy roles (with the possible exception of Kaminey) will be next seen in an action thriller directed by Prabhu Deva titled Namak and Kapoor recently hinted that watching the Salman Khan starrer Dabangg inspired him to take up a role in a massy entertainer.
In a recent interview, Kapoor was quoted saying that he realized that people of his generation had not seen massy flicks, which were quite regular blockbusters in the 80s and 90s and when he saw and enjoyed Dabangg, he understood the appeal of massy cinema and wanted to do one himself, which prompted him to agree for the film.
Namak, which is set against the backdrop of the drug mafia in North India, also stars Rowdy Rathore actress Sonakshi Sinha as the female lead.
A day ago, it had been reported that Prabhu Deva, who is directing Shahid Kapoor in his next massy entertainer Namak, is in talks with Katrina Kaif to play the female lead for the movie.
However, sources now claim that Prabhu Deva has decided to cast his 'Rowdy' actress Sonakshi Sinha for the role. It seems that Prabhu was initially keen to cast Katrina opposite Kapoor but decided to go with Sonakshi for the role.
Namak, an action thriller based around the drug mafia in Madhya Pradesh, will have Shahid Kapoor play an out and out action hero. Prabhu's last two flicks Wanted and Rowdy Rathore were major hits and it is expected that Namak too would enjoy the same success.
Director Prabhu Deva, whose last flick Rowdy Rathore starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha was a major blockbuster, is now gearing up for another massy entertainer titled Namak, which would star Shahid Kapoor and now, sources claim that Katrina Kaif would be signed up for the female lead.
Though Prabhu Deva refused to confirm the news and insisted that he hasn't finalized anyone as he is still considering multiple options, insiders claim that Katrina is the frontrunner for the role. It is also being said that Kat is in talks with Prabhu and Eros, who are producing the movie.
If this casting coup does take place, Sasha, as he is fondly known, and Kat will be seen paired opposite each other for the very first time. Katrina will be next seen romantically paired opposite former flame Salman Khan in spy flick Ek Tha Tiger, which releases on August 15 this year.
A few weeks back, we had reported that Prabhu Deva, who tasted immense success with Rowdy Rathore, is planning another massy flick named Namak, which will have Shahid Kapoor as the male lead. Sources now claim that the director has roped in Deepika Padukone as the female lead to star opposite Sasha, as he is known.
It is being said that Prabhu was highly impressed with the dimpled damsel after seeing the promos of the recently released Cocktail and decided to rope her in as the lead actress of his film. Deepika, who played the wild party animal Veronica in Cocktail, earned rave reviews for her looks and performance in the Homi Adajania flick.
Namak is reportedly a massy entertainer, which will deal with the issue of drug trade in North India
