Shahid Kapoor exits ‘Freaky Friday’ adaptation

Shahid Kapoor has stepped away from the Indian adaptation of ‘Freaky Friday’, marking a recalibration of his upcoming slate. The move reflects a more deliberate approach to project selection following the mixed outcomes of his recent releases. ‘O Romeo’ underperformed theatrically, prompting a reassessment of material that may not translate into broad box‑office appeal.

At the same time, ‘Cocktail 2’ delivered strong digital traction after its Netflix debut, reinforcing Shahid’s focus on projects that balance commercial reach with narrative clarity. His exit from the adaptation signals a shift towards more curated choices as he aligns his slate with this revised strategy.

The makers are expected to revisit casting and scheduling as the project moves into its next phase of development.
