Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor is presently engrossed in the
shoot of Padmavati which is being directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and also
stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh.
Now that the actor is back from his short trip to London
with Mira Rajput and Misha Kapoor, his focus after Padmavati will shift to
Roshni which is being directed by Shree Narayan Singh.
As per a famous daily, the actor will be essaying the role
of a lawyer who fights against the power distribution companies in the country
because of whom the consumers have to pay huge amounts in the name of
electricity bills.
A source from the creative team disclosed to the tabloid,
"It's quite common for people to receive astronomical electricity bills
and they don't know how to verify it. The story revolves around the problem of
electricity, that's why it's tentatively called Roshni [light]. Shahid plays a
lawyer, who raises his voice against this issue. What starts off as a single
citizen's fight soon grows, as the country rallies behind him."
Regarding the female lead in the movie, the source further added,
"There's also a parallel love story. The makers are considering a few top
actresses for the role opposite him. The leading lady has a strong role too —
she is his friend, who stands beside him in his trying times."
Last month, the director reveled, "Yes, I am in talks
with Shahid but not sure for which film. Right now, I am heading out for a
break of 10 to 15 days. There is a script called Roshni written by Vipul but
not sure that I would be directing it."
