Shahid Kapoor set to play con-artist in ‘Fake’

Shahid Kapoor

Director duo Raj and Krishna DK have roped in Shahid Kapoor to play a con-artist in their next film tentatively titled ‘Fake’.

Mumbai Mirror reports that the duo will not only direct the crime thriller but will also produce it.

Krishna DK told Mumbai Mirror, “Shahid will play a scamster who commits one of the biggest financial frauds the country has ever witnessed. His character thinks that he is above the establishment, but eventually, the law catches up with him.”

It is reported that the film could be based on the hit Hollywood release ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’, however Krishna DK denied the speculation. “I loved that film, but ours will not be similar to it in any way. Unlike an adaptation, this is based on an original screenplay written by Raj and me. We are yet to cast a leading lady opposite Shahid and lock the rest of the cast.”

‘Fake’ will go on the floors later this year after the director duo’s next release ‘Happy Ending’ in August.
