Shahid Kapoor's Next Is Not A Sequel To 'Jab We Met'
Shahid Kapoor's next is not a sequel of Jab We Met. The actor will star in Imtiaz Ali's upcoming movie Batti Gull Meter Chalu which also stars Shraddha Kapoor and Yami Gautam.
Actor
Shahid
Kapoor
has
dismissed
reports
that
his
next
collaboration
with
filmmaker
Imtiaz
Ali
is
a
sequel
to
their
2007
hit
"Jab
We
Met".
Ever
since
the
project
was
announced,
there
were
reports
that
the
film
will
be
an
'organic'
sequel
to
"Jab
We
Met",
which
featured
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan.
"There
is
nothing
to
do
with
'Jab
We
Met'
and
in
this
film
I
don't
look
sad!
We
will
make
another
good
film.
Why
do
we
live
in
the
past?
It
('Jab
We
Met')
has
already
been
done.
So
no,
(this
isn't
a
sequel)," he
said
in
a
group
interview.
The
director-actor
duo
will
start
working
on
the
project
next
year
after
Shahid
Kapoor
wraps
up
Shree
Narayan
Singh's
"Batti
Gull
Meter
Chalu".
The
"Padmaavat" star,
who
is
currently
shooting
for
the
film,
says
as
an
actor
his
goal
is
to
constantly
try
and
do
different
roles.
"It's
not
about
performing
better
or
worse,
it's
about
(being)
different.
That's
the
operative
word
for
me.
I
would
like
to
do
different
things.
Every
film,
every
role
offers
you
different
opportunities,
you
have
to
be
true
to
that,"
he
said.
"You
should
never
bring
your
personal
aspirations
into
what
is
required
from
a
film."
In
"Batti
Gull
Meter
Chalu",
Shahid
is
playing
a
lawyer
from
a
small
town
in
the
film.
"'Batti...' will
be
very
different
from
my
'Padmaavat'
character
of
Rawal
Ratan
Singh.
I'm
thankful
if
people
think
the
bar
(of
performance)
has
been
raised.
I
need
to
raise
it
every
time,"
said.
"Batti
Gull
Meter
Chalu",
which
also
features
Shraddha
Kapoor
and
Yami
Gautam,
addresses
the
issue
of
electricity
bills.
