This is an interesting piece of news, the ever popular Raj and DK of The Family Man fame are in discussions with Shahid Kapoor for their next web series project.
According to reports and sources close to the Raj and DK project says, “It’s all in the preliminary stage right now. The lockdown has thrown things out of gear. But yes it is true that Raj and DK have approached Shahid for a web series and the latter seems interested. Whether the discussions culminate into something eventually remains to be seen.”
Raj Nidimoru (Raj ) and Krishna (DK) , the writer-director-duo are well known for their films in the past like 99 (2009), Shor In The City (2011) and Go Goa Gone (2013) including a horror-comedy blockbuster Stree. What brought them phenomenal fame was The Family Man web series which had Manoj Bajpayee playing the titular role.
This move, seem to be pushing a button which was pressed earlier by Raj and DK who were keen to have Shahid in a film called Farzi back in 2014 featuring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Kriti Sanon. This however, never took off and hit the wall, never seeing the light of the day.
On the work front Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK’s is readying for the launch of The Family Man 2 . Earlier, this year, we heard in the OTT streets that the duo might get involved in the Indian version of global series Citadel, produced by Joe and Anthony Russo of Avengers fame. There are also talks that they’ll take Go Goa Gone 2 on floors soon.
The other exciting news is that Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has given his nod and shown interest to what the duo call ‘one of their favourite scripts’. With so many projects in hand, it remains to be seen if Raj and DK will be directing all of them or would they be producing a few of these.
Shahid Kapoor, delivered one of the biggest grossers of cinema last year titled Kabir Singh. His next big film is a movie titled Jersey a remake of south indian star Naani Film with the same title.
Shahid recently celebrated 5 years of his marriage with Mira Rajput and posted a sweet note on instagram, saying ; 5 years. Gone by in a flash. Found beauty in the smaller things. Found happiness within not without. Found meaning to together we can. Found myself a little more walking by your side my love. Thank you for being you. And thank you for helping me be a better me. Happy anniversary my love.
The actor also expressed how kicked and thrilled he was for doing the role of Kabir Singh. In a post he said :
To all those who gave so much overwhelming love to such a complex, conflicted character. Thank you. #kabirsingh was never just a film to me.. it was an emotional arc that was raw.. bare.. unabashed .. honest .. fearless .. REAL!! In a time where people are quick to judge (others not themselves ) you understood him. You understood our interpretation of the angst of a broken heart.
This one will always be special. So so special. And it would just not have been possible without@kiaraaliaadvani , @sandeepreddy.vanga , @muradkhetani and @ashwinvarde @bhushankumar @santha_dop , Payal and so so many others.Thank you all once again. And remember. Keep it real and make it count. Be kind. Be good. Spread positivity. And always believe. 🙌💕👊
We hope to see the trio Raj , DK and Shahid in a web series soon.
