Shahid Kapoor's next project after Padmavati will be Roshni which is being helmed by Shree Narayan Singh. In the film, Shahid will be seen in the role of a lawyer who fights against the power distribution companies in the country.

Stated the source, "It's quite common for people to receive astronomical electricity bills and they don't know how to verify it. The story revolves around the problem of electricity, that's why it's tentatively called Roshni [light]. Shahid plays a lawyer, who raises his voice against this issue. What starts off as a single citizen's fight soon grows, as the country rallies behind him."

About the female lead, source said, "There's also a parallel love story. The makers are considering a few top actresses for the role opposite him. The leading lady has a strong role too — she is his friend, who stands beside him in his trying times."

Shree Narayan Singh had also said, "Yes, I am in talks with Shahid but not sure for which film. Right now, I am heading out for a break of 10 to 15 days. There is a script called Roshni written by Vipul but not sure that I would be directing it."
