Is Tabu Reuniting With Haider Co-star Shahid Kapoor?

You read that right. Tabu with Vishal Bhardwaj is a genre in itself, and when they joined forces with Shahid for Haider, it turned out to be a magic that could not be explained. The movie, which also stars Kay Kay Menon and Irrfan Khan in a cameo, is, till date, one of the classic films in Indian cinema. So when Tabu shared a picture with Shahid Kapoor, Vishal Bhardwaj, and their team on Instagram, everyone had to be excited.

Sharing the black and white picture, which seems to be from an office space, we can see all seated except for Vishal Bhardwaj, who is standing right next to Tabu. In the caption, she wrote, “Laqt-e-jigars.” However, Tabu has not shared a direct tease with the post, but the comments section is full of excitement about Ghazala and Haider's reunion. It will be a massive twist in the tale if Tabu ends up joining Vishal Bhardwaj’s next with Shahid Kapoor, considering Haider has a massive fandom.
