Padmavati actor Shahid Kapoor steps up to sign up with 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' director Shree Narayan Singh for his next film. Although the film is being financed by T-Series and Kriarj Entertainment, the title is yet to be decided. The director said that he is excited to work with Shahid and is delighted to have the actor on the floor. ''His star presence is undeniable and I look forward to working with him."

Prerna Arora of Kriarj Entertainment talked about sharing the story idea of the film with Shahid, who agreed to do the film on the go. She confirmed that the banner had full faith in Singh's directorial sensibilities, especially after the success of Toilet.

"We really enjoyed making TEPK together earlier and know that Shree Narayan Singh’s sensibilities as a filmmaker have given us the confidence that we have another winner on our hands. Shahid is one of the industry’s finest actors and would completely do justice to the role. We are so excited to be collaborating with him on this one as the role is tailor-made for someone with his talent and calibre. Together, Shahid and Shree will form a brilliant combo, a winner for us, for sure!," she said.

Kriarj collaborates with T-Series and its producer Bhushan Kumar said the two production houses are working on several other films and their coming together strengthens the association. Shahid Kapoor is currently working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period drama 'Padmavati' as Maharawal Ratan Singh.
