Batti Gul Meter Chalu on social media and it wouldn't be wrong to say that the picture is going viral as it received over 1 lakh likes within two hours. Shahid seems to be having a fun time shooting for the film in Uttarakhand (going by his vibrant smile in the picture). In the film, Shahid will be seen sharing screen space with his
Haider co-star Shraddha Kapoor. The film also features
Yami Gautam, who will be seen playing the role of a lawyer.
Batti Gul Meter Chalu is a social drama, which depicts the story of a common man and his struggle against the power distribution companies over exorbitant electricity bills.

Earlier this week, Shahid Kapoor posted a goofy "tongue and cheek" picture from the sets of
Batti Gul Meter Chalu with co-star Shraddha Kapoor, which went viral.

The film's shooting was delayed due to a tussle between Prernaa Arora's KriArj Entertainment and Bhushan Kumar's T-Series. After much ado, the film finally went on floors in February and will release under Bhushan Kumar's name.
Earlier this year, trade analyst Taran Adarsh, shared the first look of
Batti Gul Meter Chalu on Twitter and wrote: "Shooting shuru... Check out Shahid Kapoor's look from
Batti Gul Meter Chalu."
