So, Vishal Bhardwaj’s Kaminey changed people’s views on Shahid Kapoor as an actor. He was the toast of the town after the film. However, Post Matru Ki Bijilee Ka Mandola, Vishal has seems to have taken a shine for Imran Khan. Sources say that in the sequel of Kaminey, it will be Imran and not Shahid in the lead role.
A source said: “During the making of their next film, Vishal seemed to have taken a shine for Imran. And now for his upcoming sequel, he is keen on taking Imran in place of Shahid.”
Vishal Bharadwaj has been impressed with Imran, who will be seen in his latest film Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola.
“He even went on to compare Imran with other actors he has worked with in the past, including Shahid and Saif Ali Khan,” added the source.
As of now the news isn’t confirmed but Vishal’s sudden liking for Imran may just tick off Shahid. Let’s wait and see who bags the role this time around. What do you think?

Is Vishal crazzzzy? Shahid did a fantastic job in Kaminey! Imran will not do justice to that role.

NO WAY!!! Imran doesn’t impress me on screen & is too stiff. I will not pay to see anyone else in Kiminey except Shahid. It’s a Brand & a franchise. If you drastically change certain things or characters which made people fall in love with the brand/franchise, people won’t accept it. Its essence must remain in tact (i.e. Krrish, Dhoom, Don, Dabangg etc.)
