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.
Getting
The
Boxer's
Physique
"He
needs
to
have
a
particular
physique
to
play
the
character
convincingly
and
learn
the
techniques
of
boxing," the
source
revealed
to
DNA.
A
New
Story
In
Bollywood!
"Someone
had
approached
Shahid
with
the
story.
He
liked
it
and
since
he
was
already
discussing
about
collaborating
with
Raja,
Sasha
asked
the
filmmaker
if
he
would
want
to
work
on
it.
And
the
latter
started
developing
it
further," the
source
summed
it
up.
