Shor

, directed by Raj Nimoduru and Krishna DK, earned acclaim at the Pusan Film Festival. It will now be screened on the opening night of the 10th Indo-American Council Film Festival in New York next month. “When you travel with a film to festivals, it becomes a brand by itself by the time it releases in India,” says Kapoor. The film, also toplining Sendhil Ramamurthy, will also be screened at the Dubai International Film Festival.

So what is producer-sister Ekta keen to reshoot? “We’re not re-shooting anything but we’re filming additional scenes for the Indian version. The directors, the writer and Ekta felt that adding a couple of light moments would enhance the version that we’ll release in India,” Kapoor explains.

However, that will have to wait till December since the actor will be wrapping up Sooraj Barjatya’s

Love U Mr Kalakaar

with Amrita Rao and Sagar Bellary’s

Hum Tum Aur Shabana

with Shreyas Talpade and Minissha Lamba. “I have a short haircut in

Shor

. I can’t cut my hair because I have some prior commitments,” says the actor, awaiting the response to his third outing as a mute guy in

Golmaal 3

.

Shor

took off earlier this year? “Nope,” says Kapoor. “For us, it was a feel good Mumbai film, executed realistically. It’s also hard-hitting because of its intense subject.”

The movie, produced by Alt Entertainment, was expected to release in September-October this year, but the company thought otherwise since there were several biggies lined up for release in the aforementioned window. “

Shor

leans towards alternate cinema.

Love Sex Aur Dhokha

had released in March and done well, so we thought it would be appropriate to release

Shor

in March next year,” says the actor.

News is that

City Of Joy

director Roland Joffé recently asked Kapoor to audition for his next movie. “Yes, I auditioned for a role,” confirms Kapoor. “I can’t reveal details right now.”
