Haider is an upcoming Indian drama film directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, and written by Basharat Peer and Bhardwaj. It is an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, and is set in Kashmir. The film stars Shahid Kapoor as the titular character with Tabu, Shraddha Kapoor and Kay Kay Menon. Haider is the third installment of Bhardwaj's Shakespeare trilogy after Maqbool (2003) and Omkara (2006). The film is scheduled for release on 2 October 2014.

Initially, Bharadwaj and Kapoor were in talks of making a sequel to their blockbuster film, Kaminey. After more discussion however, Bharadwaj decided to instead produce another of Shakespeare's plays. He decided to either do King Lear or Hamlet, choosing to adapt the latter due to the political intrigue and history of Kashmir as well as the play's sexual conflicts.

Kapoor, along with Bharadwaj and UTV Motion Pictures each have a 33.3% share in the film. Kapoor reportedly became a producer for the film due to his trust and belief in the film's success. The budget for the film is INR37 crore (US$6.2 million), with INR22 crore (US$3.7 million) going into the production of the film and INR15 crore (US$2.5 million) for promotion.

A large part of shooting of the film was done in Srinagar in Kashmir which started on 8 November 2013. The film was earlier slated to release on the same day of Ranbir Kapoor's release Jagga Jasoos. There were some protests while the shoot of the film was going on in Kashmir University.

The last schedule of shooting for 'Haider' began in Kashmir in January 2014. Bhardwaj has reportedly assured J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah that the film would have nothing to harm the local sensibilities and the political aspirations.The shooting was completed by 24 February 2014. Tabu is playing the role of step-mother of Shahid in the film.
