Mumbai, May 25 - Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor has been roped in to headline Malayalam director Rosshan Andrrews' action thriller film. The yet-untitled movie will jointly be produced by Zee Studios and Roy Kapur Films.

The upcoming movie marks the maiden Bollywood movie of director Andrrews who is known for Malayalam blockbusters such as "Mumbai Police" and "Kayamkulam Kochunni" while it also marks the first time that Zee Studios and Roy Kapur Films have worked together.



Shahid Kapoor said, "It's rare to find a subject that has action, thrill, drama, and suspense all packed into one script and I am really looking forward to this. It's a privilege to be collaborating with Zee Studios and with Siddharth Roy Kapur with whom I have worked on Haider and Kaminey earlier".

"Rosshan Andrrews is a veteran filmmaker whose Malayalam filmography is spectacular. We have spent many months together now and it will be a pleasure to work with such a fantastic cinematic mind. I can't wait to bring this exhilarating, entertaining, and thrilling story to the masses", the actor added.

Scheduled to start shooting in the second half of 2023, the film revolves around a brilliant yet rebellious police officer who uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal while investigating a high-profile case. Pooja Hegde reportedly plays the female lead role.

Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor is currently shooting for Maddock Films' untitled robotic romantic comedy film that is scheduled to release later this year. He also has Ali Abbas Zafar's "Bloody Daddy", gearing up for direct-to-digital release via Jio Cinema this June.
