Opportunity knocking at your door just once, they say. But Shahid Kapoor has a chance to work with Dharma Productions presented himself not once but three times.
The actor, who could not work in Karan Johar's cabbage in 2005 had to wait seven years to be offered another film from the production house. Unfortunately, due to the effect issues, the actor may opt punit Malhotra director as well. Shahid had then said: "I hope it does not take us another seven years to work again." And fortunately, his wish has just come true albeit with a little prodding by the actor himself.
Shahid after KJo production fell through, was contacted by Siddharth Roy Kapoor in Hindi remake of the Tamil blockbuster Vettai. Seize this chance, the actor asked UTV head to get Karan Johar to co-produce the venture, which will finally add the coveted 'Dharma film' to his CV.

This managed to magically fix Karan Johar problems - first, a filmmaker without having to disturb his other productions or punit Malhotra got a project with Shahid. Also he was a great movie as Vettai in his kitty, without having to fight for its remake rights (since Siddharth Roy Kapoor already had it in place). And finally, he did not have to make Shahid wait for another seven years. Perhaps for the first time, mica town very own peacemaker and problem solver got his dilemma sorted.
UTV will handle the entire production of the film and Dharma will not really be involved in the execution. The film will be directed by N Linguswamy who had made the original. Apart from Shahid, R Madhavan also be a part of the venture.
