When they collaborated together the last time, Shahid Kapoor and Imtiaz Ali gave fans one of the best romantic films ever in Jab We Met. The actor and the director were supposed to work together once again for a romantic film. However, if reports are to be believed, the film has been put on a hold for now.

Shahid, who has been on a roll since the release of his last film Padmaavat, was very much interested in signing another film with Imtiaz.

“The script was a little edgy and even though Shahid loved it, the producers approached were somewhat sceptical about its experimental nature. Shahid and Imtiaz met recently and have decided to keep this film on the backburner for now. Imtiaz and Shahid may return to this project next year or maybe later,” a source close to the actor told Mumbai Mirror.

While Shahid is interested about the film, Imtiaz hasn’t officially made an announcement about his next project.

“Imtiaz hasn’t made an official announcement about his next film or its cast. When he is ready to do so he will make the requisite announcement,” Imtiaz’s spokesperson said.

Well, fans of the duo are eagerly waiting for their next film together, but it seems we have to wait a little longer for that to happen.

Jab We Met, released in 2007, was a turning point in both Shahid and Imtiaz’s career as the actor had a string of mediocre films before that and Imtiaz too had a flop in Socha Na Tha.

On the work front, Shahid will be next seen in Batti Gul Meter Chalu and Imtiaz is working on a film titled Adhoora.
