Shahid Kapoor replaces Saif Ali Khan in Vikramaditya Motwane's next

No, not Saif Ali Khan but it will be Kareena Kapoor's ex Shahid Kapoor who will be seen playing the lead in Vikramaditya Motwane's next

• 

Few months ago, there were reports of Vikramaditya Motwane approaching Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan for his next. But during the Bajrangi Bhaijaan promotions, Bebo dismissed all such rumours. But the story doesn't stop there. Saif, who had given a go ahead to the Lootera director kept him waiting and asked the director to alter the film's script. Soon after, he unceremoniously dropped out of the project. Now, we hear that Motwane has approached Shahid Kapoor for the same film.
Motwane has already changed the script and tweaked it a bit and narrated the film to Sasha who has liked the story. The actor has also decided to come on board for the film but the formalities are being worked out at the moment.
Being close friends to the Phantom founders, it was not difficult to coax Shahid for the role. Instead, he liked the film, which essentially revolves around a superstar actor's tryst with his stardom. Although Shahid and Saif will be acting together in Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon, it seems Bebo's ex is all set to replace her hubby in Motwane's next!
More PAK NEWS,
Let’s only find a friend indeed, when you’re absolutely in need:
I have seen this thing in so many dramas where when a girl is thrown out of her home or chooses to leave her husband’s place, she goes straight to her friend’s place, who by the way was nowhere to be seen in let’s say, the first 40 episodes of the drama? The funny thing is these instant 2 minute noodle-like friends show so much of courtesy & act as if they were BFFL (best friends for life) with the heroine but they end up looking desperate to give their best shot for the 2 minutes of coverage they get on-screen & oh I may as well add that whenever the director picks a certain girl to play the role of a friend, he makes sure that the friend is acting & talent free. As much as they want to restore the faith in humanity by showing overly helpful friends, they end up highlighting the meanness of the heroines who only remember their friends when they are in need.
Don’t know how to take the story forward or spread the rumour; let’s use a KID as a wireless medium:
The role of the kids in our dramas can’t be underestimated & for all the wrong reasons because it gets so obvious, whenever you see a kid in the picture, always be sure that he or she will be used one way or the other to either instill a silly idea in someone’s mind or take the story forward because everything & everyone will end up revolving around the kid & that’s how the story of the drama will progress. I feel this aspect of including the kids in our dramas is also exploited because it is so obvious that the way the kids behave & speak on-screen is completely unrealistic most of, in fact all the time. The kids can serve the purpose of being a bigger daadi amman or dada abba so I think the producers safely opt for a kid because they can make them work for 2 roles in the price of 1.
So, this was my list of the monotonous things that are prevailing in our dramas. I actually find all these things so off-putting because every other drama revolves around more or less the similar situations. They all tell the same tale but in different words but I so wish that the producers & the writers start coming up with something different because there is no dearth of ideas to bring into picture & make a good drama. Please share your thoughts about this subject & also feel free to add more monotonous issues that you are tired seeing being a part of our dramas in the recent times.
