Ali Abbas Zafar was supposed to begin work on Katrina Kaif’s superhero film, Super Soldier, earlier this year. However, due to the COVID lockdown, the big-budget two-part action drama could not begin production on time. The film has been rescheduled for next year. With Super Soldier being postponed until 2022, the director has further moved on to another project with Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor. Read below to know more details.
Ali Abbas Zafar is set to direct a thriller starring Shahid Kapoor, according to reports. The filmmaker of Salman Khan’s ‘Sultan’, is currently working on a one-night thriller. The film is reportedly a Hindi remake of a foreign film, according to reports. The plot of the foreign picture, on the other hand, is being kept a secret. Ali will produce the film through his company Offside Entertainment, and it will be shot primarily in Abu Dhabi later this year.

According to the source, Ali has been intending to adapt the film for Indian audiences for quite some time. Shahid, on the other hand, was searching for a film set in a commercial setting that was distinct from the conventional masala potboiler, and Ali’s script fit the bill perfectly. Meanwhile, if production begins this year and all goes well, Shahid’s next project would be Raj and DK’s Amazon Prime series, which he is currently filming in Mumbai.
Shahid Kapoor’s next film is Jersey, which is a remake of the Telugu film of the same name. Apart from Ali’s project, he has consented to at least three more. He is supposed to be working on Operation Cactus by Amar Butala and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s legendary epic Karna by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.
