Everyone knows that Shahid Kapoor has signed a film with Ali Abbas Zafar. The film is an adaptation of the French thriller Nuit Blanche or Sleepless Night (translated in English). Now we can reveal that the filmmaker intends to shoot it on a massive scale with a lot of adrenaline-pumping action and begin shooting it on the sets by the end of the year.
While the film is about a parent trying to save his stolen child from the mafia over the course of one night, the producers were on the search for a prominent Bollywood actress to play opposite Shahid Kapoor. A source informed Bollywood Hungama, “Bhumi was approached for the role. The makers felt she will fit the bill as Shahid’s wife and although the film primarily traces one day in Shahid’s life, Bhumi’s role is extremely important and pivotal. The makers had offered the film to Bhumi a few weeks ago.”
But now, we hear that Bhumi has declined to play the part. The same source shares, “Bhumi feels there is meat lacking in her part and that’s why she decided to say no to it. After her rejection, the makers are now on the hunt for another heroine to play the lead opposite Shahid.”
