Batti Gul Meter Chalu: Shahid Kapoor's next is based on issue of high electricity bills in India

Mumbai: Shahid Kapoor’s next film, Batti Gul Meter Chalu, is about escalating electricity bills and has a social message, its director said. The film’s teaser was released on Diwali. “The subject of the film is very relevant to our times. Diwali makes it just the right occasion for us to shed light on a subject that needs to be discussed. We look forward to making a film that is both commercially entertaining and encourages a social conversation,” director Shree Narayan Singh said in a statement.

Shahid will be seen next in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati. Singh’s most recent project was  _Toilet: Ek Prem Katha_ , which starred Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar.
