Shahid Kapoor to play a paratrooper in ‘action extravaganza’ Bull

Actor Shahid Kapoor and producer Bhushan Kumar are joining hands once again for a film titled Bull. Pitched as an all-out actioner, Bull will be helmed by debutant director Aditya Nimbalkar, who is said to have worked extensively with filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj.

Shahid said in a statement that he is excited about playing a paratrooper in Bull. Commenting that the film is inspired by the real-life events of Brigadier Bulsara, the actor shared, “Bull is a full-blown action film inspired by real events from the life of Brigadier Bulsara. It is a privilege to play a paratrooper who leads his boys through a historic and selfless mission that has now become iconic for its precision and bravado. The opportunity to play a paratrooper is exhilarating and truly an honour.”
