Sadly, due to date issues, the actor had to opt out of the Punit Malhotra directorial as well. Shahid had then said, "I hope it doesn't take us another seven years to work again." 

According to a source, the actor was always in two minds about doing Punit's second film. Apart from that Shahid wanted to involve himself at the script level. He even suggested a few changes in the script and later went on giving his inputs for the casting of the film. But the director wasn't happy with Shahid's extra involvement and discussed the same with producer Karan Johar. Karan Johar wasn't in favor of altering the script and wished that they go ahead with the original. When things didn't go according to Shahid, the actor decided to opt out.

However, Shahid Kapoor managed to bag another movie, Maneesh Sharma's next to be produced by Yash Raj Films.
