And now, there have been reports doing round that the actors next venture, a biopic on boxer Ngangom Dingko Singh, has been shelved. However, a leading entertainment portal, SpotBoyE, has now reported that the director of the biopic, Raja Krishna Menon, also the man being films like Said Ali Khan starrer Chef and Akshay Kumar’s Airlift, has only postponed the film and not shelved it.
Speaking about the same, the portal has quoted Menon saying, “We are both committed to this movie. It’s not shelved, neither am I looking for any other actor. It’s just that we are on hold.”
The filmmaker further revealed, “We were supposed to start in early 2019, but could not complete the script in all respects. This, in turn, delayed the project. Now, Shahid Kapoor has given a mega hit Kabir Singh and to be honest he wants to dwell a little deeper on which film he should take up next. But this does not mean that he is not doing the Dingko Singh biopic with me. I repeat, it’s not shelved. We shall go with it, but yes, not this year.”
