Shahid Kapoor's thriller Koi Shaq NOT a remake of Prithviraj Sukumaran's Mumbai Police? Details inside

In the next Malayalam film directed by Rosshan Andrews, Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde are anticipated to appear together on screen. According to reports, Siddharth Roy Kapur will produce Rosshan Andrews' film, and the two have already cast Pooja Hegde as the female lead in their project which is titled, Koi Shaq.

In the industry, rumours had been circulating that Shahid had consented to a lower salary for this film. There were rumours that the movie will be a remake of Mumbai Police, which starred Prithviraj Sukumaran. But now it's clear that Andrews' project is an original movie, not a remake, as was previously thought.

A source informed Bollywood Hungama, “A number of reports have surfaced claiming that Rosshan Andrrews venture with Shahid Kapoor is a remake of Mumbai Police. However, that is far from the truth. The project titled Koi Shaq is in fact, an original script that has been developed.” A

The source further added that the cast and story are already set, even if the project is still in its early phases. Andrrews wishes to keep future specifics under wraps for the time being, though. Once filming starts, more details regarding the movie will be released. Moving on, it has been confirmed that Pooja Hegde would also appear in Andrews' future movie, Koi Shaq.
