Shahid Kapoor is yet to decide what he wants to do after the release of his upcoming film, Kabir Singh. He does, however, desire to feature in a biopic on boxer Dingko Singh. This development follows reports that he would turn producer for a film based on the life of the Manipuri boxer. It was suggested that the film, to be directed by Raja Krishna Menon, would feature Kapoor in the titular role.
When asked for an update on the project, Kapoor said, "I have the rights for [a biopic] Dingko Singh. It's a film I really want to make, and I'll make it one day. But I don't know what my next film will be. There's nothing that I've committed to. Everything is in stages of conversation, and discussions. There'll be an official announcement soon on what I'm doing next," he added.
