Batti Gul Meter Chalu director Shree Narayan Singh talks about his nex

Shahid Kapoor will be next seen in Shree
Narayan Singh's Batti Gul Meter Chalu. The
film is based on a social issue of electricity
theft faced by people in rural India. After
Batti, Narayan Singh and Shahid will be
collaborating again for a film which won't
be a touching any social issue. About the
same, the director told PTI, The next film
with Shahid is not based on any social issue.
It is a completely different kind of a film. It is
in the hard-hitting space. No one has seen
Shahid in that space before. Work on the
script is on."
For this film, Shree Narayan Singh will
collaborate with Ekta Kapoor. It is a biopic
based on Kurien's autobiography. Singh
informed, " At the moment, scripting is on. It
is a period film, we are starting the film from
1947. I want to do proper research before
going on floors. I want to be fully prepared
for this film right from the script to the
location to the VFX, I want to have a proper
story board for it."
He added, "His life has been very interesting.
Our idea is to make it entertaining and
appealing for the film. Even though the
material is in hand but the big challenge lies
in taking it to the big screen in a way that
audience will love the journey and feel
inspired as well."
Meanwhile, Batti Gul Meter Chalu is slated to
release on September 21, 2018. The film also
stars Shraddha Kapoor and Yami Gautam.
