The actor and director were all smiles as they happily posed outside the office. While Shahid’s next film   _Padmavati_   has been received a major blow due to the indefinite delay, the actor seems to be anxiously looking for other projects. The controversial film also casts Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, and is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Shahid will also be seen in  Batti Gul Meter Chalu, directed  by Shree Narayan Singh. The shooting of the film is currently underway and the social drama is slated to release on 31 August, 2018. The makers have reportedly cast  Ileana D’cruz opposite Shahid. Mehra is currently prepping for his upcoming musical Fanney Khan,  which features Anil Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao in the lead roles.
