How Shahid Kapoor Lost Anand Kumar Bio-Pic To Hrithik

Shahid Kapoor’s  soured friendship with producer Madhu Mantenahas cost him a prized role as mathematician Anand Kumar in the bio-pic Super 30 that Vikas Bahl would direct.

In fact Anand  Kumar for a very long time went along with the idea ofShahid playing him in the bio-pic. The busy mathematician even made time to catch up on some of Shahid’s film including,ahem,Shaandaar.

Shahid was also very excited about his first real-life character.

Then  the fall-out between the producer and the actor happened.

Says a  source, “When Madhu Mantena and Shahid Kapoor ceased to be friends their professional equation  also ended. Shahid found himself out of Super 30(the Anand Kumar bio-pic.”

Not that Shahid is moping over the loss. He is busy playing DeepikaPadukone’s husband in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati where the two have just shot an exquisitely poetic romantic song.
