Vishal Bharadwaj signs Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor is on a career high. Soon after the super success of solo hits Vivah and Jab We Met, Shahid is increasingly turning out to be amongst the select few who can carry a solo hero film on his young shoulder. A commendable feat considering that most of the hits delivered last year in Bollywood were multi-starers. Even Shahid is being very selective with the project and the banner he signs.

And the industry too has reposed the faith in him. His forthcoming solo hero projects include Aziz Mirza's Kismat Konnection, Ken Ghosh's Musical, two films with Yashraj Films and a film to be directed by powerhouse performer, dad, Pankaj Kapoor. The industry too is abuzz about his depth and acting prowess and are betting big time on him. They even consider him in the Aamir Khan mould in the acting front, since he is quite young and has a long way to go.

And now the industry reports that Shahid has been signed by none-the-less master craftsman, Vishal Bharadwaj for his next production, a virtual stamp of approval of Shahid's capabilities and growth curve as an actor. Surely seems like 'star-actor' Shahid Kapoor's journey to super stardom is scripted already!
