Shahid Kapoor gets to choose between Deepa Mehta's Beeba Boyz or Mira Nair's Reluctant Fundamentalist. Which will he pick?

Shahid Kapoor is inu00a0a dilemma. He has been offered the central role in two international projects by two of the most recognised Indian female directors abroad Mira Nair and Deepa Mehta, and he canu00a0 pick only one.

Not only do the dates for the two projects clash, so do the directors helming the two projects.



NRI queens both, Mehta and Nair have never been known to see eye to eye.

While Mira Nair's The Namesake could be considered the breakthrough Indian film in theu00a0 international market, her rival Deepa Mehta's Water is the desi film that has cracked the list of Oscar-nominatedu00a0 films in the foreign language film category.

Competitors

Both the directors are ready to embark on another competitive journey.

While Mira wants to cast Shaks inu00a0 her wide-screen adaptation ofu00a0 Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Deepa wants to pair him against the Resident Evil hottieu00a0 Milla Jovovich inu00a0 her film entitled Beeba Boyz about a Punjabi gangster and his firangi moll.



Says a source close to Deepa, "She feels Shahid's boyish charm and his inherent Punjabiyat is perfect for the part in Beeba Boyz. She has in fact sounded him out and he has shown interest."

But the actor knows he can do only one of the two films. Which one will he pick? It is an either/or situation. Your call, Shahid.
