Sporting the Tom Cruise ‘Top Gun’ look in his father’s directorial debut ‘Mausam’ may not have won the film good reviews, but has certainly helped Shahid Kapur bag the biggest project of his career. In the official Hindi remake of Cruise’s 2010 romantic action comedy ‘Knight And Day’, Fox Studios has decided to cast the young actor. The film that is ready to go on floors next year will be directed by Siddharth Anand. ‘Knight And Day’, directed by James Mangold follows the adventures of a spy on the run played by Tom Cruise and a car restorer June Havens played by Cameron Diaz. Explaining why Fox Star, the original producers of the film decided to cast Shahid in the lead role, a source told Mumbai Mirror, “Fox Studios feels that Shahid has immense potential to carry out Tom Cruise’s histrionics convincingly. They find him to be an actor who can portray a gamut of emotions if and when required.” Though Cruise’s shoes have been filled, Cameron Diaz’s place yes yet up for grabs. “The leading lady is yet to be finalised,” said the source.
