After Hrs was the first to tell you that Sidharth Malhotra is collaborating with Ekta Kapoor’s production house, four years after their big hit together, Ek Villain (2014).
The new project in question will not just be a run-of-the-mill love story. Says a source associated with the project, “It’s an extremely edgy movie with Sidharth playing a unique character.” Reportedly, his Ek Villain co-star Shraddha Kapoor will play his love interest in this film that has a strong subject.
Our informer adds, “It is called Shotgun Shaadi because it is primarily about the groom-kidnapping that is quite prevalent in Bihar.” For a long time, such incidents have been prevalent in the North Indian state, where the girl’s family hires local goons to kidnap suitable grooms for their daughters, essentially to avoid dowry. “Sid plays a thug who abducts potential grooms and gets them forcefully married. He has started taking classes to master the Bihari diction,” the source adds.
