More Shakespeare on screen
Shahid and Priyanka to play Romeo and Juliet
As we all know, Vishal Bhardwaj has a passion for adapting Shakespearean plays into Hindi films. After his two adaptations, Maqbool based on Macbeth and Omkara on Othello, Vishal's latest venture is to be based on the famous Shakespearean play Romeo and Juliet.
According to sources, Vishal wanted to make this film prior to Maqbool and Omkara. He has started work on this film and has seen Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.
Vishal has roped in Shahid Kapur to play Romeo and, according to sources, has zeroed in on Priyanka Chopra to play the role of Juliet.
Earlier Vishal had also planned a movie called Julia based on the story of Mary Evans and had decided on the star cast too. However, that project remained pending because of a fallout between Bharadwaj and UTV over some financial problems. But Vishal is being very cautious this time. He is taking one step at a time and is in no hurry to finish the project.
