Shahid Kapoor proved lucky enough to grab a role in Ekta Kapoor 's next, after Imran Khan stepped out of the film. Incidentally, the film also stars Shahid's ex- Priyanka Chopra .
A source said that, Imran was keen to work with Ekta again after ' Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara! ', but as the dates were clashing with his another project to be directed by Vikramaditya Motwane . He preferred Motwane's film over Ekta's. In Motwane's film he will be seen playing a Gujarati Super-hero. Imran and Ekta parted on a cordial note.
This proved advantageous for Shahid to grab Ekta's next, which will be directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia . Also it will be exciting to watch out ex-couple, Shahid-Priyanka's chemistry on-screen.
Industry insider said that this might be the reason Shahid attended Ekta's bash for ' Lootera '.
