Regardless of how well his movies did at the box office, Shahid Kapoor has consistently demonstrated his talent as an actor. Nevertheless, he was given fresh life in 2019 because of Kabir Singh’s phenomenal achievement. After Sandeep Reddy Vanga helmed Kabir Singh, he worked on Jersey, which everyone anticipated would be successful. Surprisingly, the Hindi version of Nani’s Telugu blockbuster with the same titled flopped at the box office despite receiving positive reviews. The movie was a complete failure that failed to gross even Rs 20 crore in India during its theatrical run. The most recent rumours claim that Shahid has increased his pay despite Jersey’s poor box office results. According to reports, he requested Rs 5 crore more than what he was paid for the sports drama. Yes you read it right.
According to a source who confirmed this, Shahid was recently contacted by a filmmaker about starring in a movie. The Jab We Met actor reportedly requested a fee of 35 crore, which is 5 crore more than the reported sum he received for Jersey. This put the aforementioned filmmaker in a tight situation because it seemed challenging to convince his backers to pay Shahid that much. Shahid has not yet responded to the persistent rumours, therefore it cannot be proven. For the uninitiated, Shahid is now on vacation in Switzerland with his wife Mira Rajput and children. After his month-long trip in Europe, he apparently plans to reveal his upcoming endeavour. In terms of his work, the actor has already finished filming Ali Abbas Zafar’s upcoming film, reportedly titled Bloody Daddy. According to reports, the gritty action drama is a remake of the 2011 French film Nuit Blanche (Sleepless Night). This year, it is anticipated to release later. He’ll also be making his web debut in the Farzi series on Amazon Prime Video from Raj & DK. This year, the eagerly anticipated web series will be available to watch on the platform with Vijay Sethupathi, Raashii Khann, and Kay Kay Menon.
