The director is to complete his trilogy of Shakespeare updates, which include Omkara and Maqbool.   Kapoor told Hindustan Times: &amp;quot;Yes, I confirmed [the film] just a few days back. This will be my second film with [Vishal]. This movie will challenge me as an actor.&amp;quot; He has previously worked with the filmmaker on the contemporary-set thriller Kaminey, which co-stars Priyanka Chopra. Last week, Bhardwaj revealed that he had been in discussions with Kapoor over the role of Hamlet.  He told Digital Spy: &amp;quot;First [the actor who plays Hamlet] should look Kashmiri and he should be young and he should be surrendering and he shouldn&amp;#039;t be asking too many questions and he should work hard. &amp;quot;[Shahid and I] have talked a lot about it, but I still have to make up my mind about it. We both have to decide yet.&amp;quot; Bhardwaj visited London last week to accept an &amp;#039;Excellence in Cinema Award&amp;#039; from the South Asian Cinema Foundation.
