Shahid Kapoor, who is basking in the success of Padmaavat is all set to play the role of a boxer in Raja Krishna Menon's upcoming movie and it is a space which he has never explored before. The sport of boxing has been included only in a handful of movies in Bollywood and this might make the cut as the sport always showcases triumph after a fall.

Raja Krishna Menon confirmed the developments but remained tight-lipped about the storyline. Also, DNA quoted a source by saying, "Shahid is doing a sports-based film with Raja. He wanted to explore that space for quite some time. He plays a boxer who emerges triumphant against all odds in his life." Shahid Kapoor is currently shooting for Batti Gul Meter Chalu alongside Shraddha Kapoor and right after the movie is wrapped up, he'll begin training for the boxer's role.
