"The team has finally got a very applicable title for the movie after being without one for a very long time. 'Koi Shaq' has the vibe of a compelling murder mystery. The movie was supposed to go on floors on May 8, but there has been a delay at this point, so the shooting schedule has not yet been set up," the source stated.
In addition, Shahid is working on a comedy for Tollywood producer Dil Raju with director Anees Bazmee. "He hasn't decided on the dates, but there is a good chance Shahid will begin shooting the Anees Bazmee movie before the thriller. In the following 15 days, there will be a clearer idea of his shooting schedule," the source added.
