Shahid announced the project by sharing a monochrome image of himself with director on Instagram.
He described Bhardwaj as a 'special man'.
In his long Instagram post, Kapoor said: "And it’s a WRAP. My 4th collaboration with this special man @vishalrbhardwaj . Excitement levels are off the charts. Our secretly titled soon to be announced film is done. "
"As always it’s a new world and a madly different character for me to play. A titular part from him for the 3rd time. I am one of the KAMINEY I am HAIDER and now I am," he said.
