Originally posted by: coolpixieSince shahid has not tried something like this before, I'm a little skeptical, but he is a hard worker. And I think he sort of fits the bill of hamlet in a weird, sort of twisted way. I'm saying that after seeing his performances in his previous movies like Jab me wet, and kaminey. He has the potential and if the script is good, this can actually work out. Of course, the movie will bollywoodfied (totally a made up word), but it will be a pleasure to see shahid doing something like this nonetheless. If he does try it, I hope he works very hard to bring out the various layers of hamlet's personality, he is a good actor, but he needs a push to do even better. Maybe this project will be his push..?
Though the leading man in Vishal Bhardwaj's film adaptation of Hamlet still remains a mystery, the locations for the film has been finalized. Vishal recently revealed that the film will be shot in Kashmir.
Apparently, the director wanted to weave the story of Hamlet with a violent, political backdrop and he believes that the story of Kashmir would perfectly suit the theme. With Maqbool (adaptation of Macbeth) which is based on Mumbai and Omkara (adaptation of Othello) based on a small town in the north, this location for yet another drama seems to be an apt choice.
The film is said to release in 2014 and will coincide with the 450th birth anniversary celebrations of the most popular playwright William Shakespeare.
