A source close to the project told Mirror, “Imtiaz was very happy with Shahid’s work in Jab We Met. Bebo and he got a lot of taalis in the film. Shahid’s role won many accolades. It wasn’t an easy role but he did it with so much conviction. Ever since, Imtiaz has wanted to work with Shahid. Preeti too loved his acting in the film.”
As for Shahid, he has simply loved the offer, the source revealed, adding, “The modalities are being worked out. He may not do UTV’s Hindi remake of Vettai but he might just do this film for them now.”Despite repeated attempts, Imtiaz remained unavailable for comment.
