Hyderabad: Bollywood's very own chocolaty boy Shahid Kapoor is bringing back the soft boy era with his upcoming one-of-a-kind romantic comedy Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, in the midst of hyper-masculine, testosterone-heavy action films that have been dominating the box office for quite some time now. The film, which also stars Kriti Sanon, tells the story of a guy who falls in love with a high-tech robot. The film, starring the fresh pairing of Shahid and Kriti, marks Kapoor's return to the romance genre, where he previously delivered hits such as Ishq Vishq, Chup Chup Ke, and Jab We Met.
