New Delhi: Actor Shahid Kapoor, who is busy shooting for his next big venture 'Batti Gul Meter Chalu' in the hills of Uttarakhand will soon be seen in the remake of the 1964 psychological thriller 'Woh Kaun Thi', reports Mid-Day.

"Shahid has developed a great rapport with Prernaa Arora (one of the producers of KriArj Entertainment) in the course of Batti Gul shoot.
