Bollywood is going to adapt Hollywood teen comedy It’s A Boy Girl Thing with Shahid Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor. The film is the story of a boy and a girl who suddenly swap souls and have to live in each other’s shoes and act totally opposite their gender.
The original 2006 movie was a light‑hearted romantic comedy, but the Bollywood version will bring a fresh cultural touch at the same time. With Shahid and Janhvi in a relationship, we expect a lot of humour, drama and emotional depth in the film, as we see identity, relationships, and the disarray of changing lives as well.
Industry insiders say that the project will be produced by a major studio and shooting is expected to begin later in the year. The adaptation is being described as a “madcap entertainer” that mixes comedy with heartfelt moments and will appeal to both younger and family audiences.
Shahid Kapoor, fresh off Cocktail 2, is expected to bring his comic timing and dramatic flair to the male lead who suddenly finds himself trapped in a woman’s body. Janhvi Kapoor, who has been experimenting with different roles, will play the female lead struggling to live as a man.
The film will also have a lot of slick production values, bright music and modern day setting to appeal to current audiences. Trade experts believe the unique idea, along with Shahid and Janhvi’s chemistry, could make it a box office winner, especially among urban youth.
Great fun with Shahid Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor leading the way is Bollywood’s It’s A Boy Girl Thing. The movie will be a refreshing alternative to the soul‑swap genre and will be a nice touch of comedy, romance and social commentary that will make it a fun one for its audience.
