Anees Bazmee recently stated in an interview that Shahid Kapoor won’t be a part of his upcoming production.

Fans were thrilled and excited to learn that Shahid Kapoor was going to work with the director Anees Bazmee, who is known for his films like No Entry, Welcome, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and many more, when murmurs and speculations first started to circulate all over the internet. But not long after, rumours that Shahid Kapoor had left the movie over creative disputes began to spread.

Anees has suggested that he is moving forward with the same script and project but with a different actor, and Shahid is no longer a member of the crew, amid their alleged falling out. That being said, the report is rather depressing.

In an interview with News18 Showsha, Anees Bazmee confirmed that Shahid Kapoor is not a part of the movie, saying, “I’m not doing the film with Shahid Kapoor.” The director said he is sticking with the same script but is looking for a different actor, although he wouldn’t reveal why they broke up.

Anees Bazmee further explained, “I will restart working on the same script after I wrap up the shoot of my next film because it’s a great script according to me. I will do it with some other hero.”

Following the success of the second installment of the franchise, which starred Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani and received wonderful reviews, the director is currently hard at work preparing for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Speaking on the same subject, he declared, “Right now, I don’t want to worry about the film I was going to shoot (with Shahid). I’m focusing on Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Early in the next year, I will begin filming the project.

For the uninitiated, Bazmee said last year that he will return with No Entry Again, which would include the same ensemble as No Entry, including Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan. We are eager to see how this story develops.
