Having devoted 2010 exclusively to Mausam, his father Pankaj Kapoor's directorial debut, Shahid has been on the lookout for promising projects for 2011.
He is reported to have given a nod for Sajid Nadiadwala productions' next, tentatively titled Heer Ranjha, but there is no official confirmation. Besides, Shahid recently told his Twitter fans that he plans to rebound in 2011 doing three films!
According to a Mumbai Mirror source, "Mira has already met Shahid. The actor loves the script."
Two are reportedly working on the formalities with an aim to start production early next year.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist is set in an outdoor Lahore café with the protagonist, a bearded Pakistani man called Changez (the Urdu name for Genghis), reminiscing to a nervous American stranger about how he fell in love with America, but eventually abandoned it.
Changez was a top Princeton graduate. He was hand-picked by a top New York valuation firm Underwood Samson and he lived the American dream to the full until 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Mira reportedly believes Shahid has the intensity required to play the role of Changez.
