After Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, here comes another Bollywood flick with a social message- Batti Gul Meter Chalu starring Shahid Kapoor. Looks like Shahid’s going to get busy after completing Padmavati with this slice-of-life film.
The actor tweeted the film’s title announcement along with a hopeful message for India-
Let’s celebrate the festival of light with the hope that soon electricity will be a right and not a privilege for all.Shahid Kapoor, Actor (via Twitter)
Toilet Ek Prem Katha director Shree Narayan Singh is helming this KriArj project too. The short animated tease and the film’s quirky title also suggest that this one will probably have a humorous take on India’s power cuts and faulty billing systems.
