Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon have apparently teamed up for a new film to be produced by Dinesh Vijan, The two have reportedly already shot a short schedule for the same. Filming is now on hold but will be resumed pretty soon. The yet-to-be-titled movie, which marks Shasha's first collaboration with the Mimi actress, is directed by debutant Amit Joshi. It is said to be a 'robotic' love story. advertisementHAVE SHAHID KAPOOR, KRITI SANON STARTED WORK ON A NEW PROJECT?Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon will be seen together in Amit Joshi's maiden directorial venture. The two recently shot for it for a week. The actress will resume work on the film after the release of Bhediya on November 25.
An hour into the film, I was so into the Guy-Ritchie-meets-Bullet-Train brand of eccentric crime noir that I started pre-enjoying the film. I began to laugh before a punchline, and cringe before a bone-crunching set piece. My reactions became a little more exaggerated, as if I were willing the film to be smarter than it was. An Action Hero (2022) sprung to mind for a hot minute. Farzi sprung to mind for a hot second. At some point, though, the illusions melted away. And it morphed into just another sad-cop drama. The fizzling out feels all the more frustrating, because the film was on the brink of being exhilarating. In other words, Bloody Daddy snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. The jaws are strong till they last. The dismay is inevitable when it comes. After all, only an Ali Abbas Zafar movie can exceed expectations and fall short of them at once.
The yet-to-be-titled film, produced by Maddock Films, which was earlier scheduled to hit the theatres in October has finally got a release date. The makers have confirmed that the movie will hit the big screen on December 7. 2023. Maddock Films took to social media to announce the release date.
