Shahid Kapoor: What Haider is offering people that Bang Bang can't offer and vice versa

Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, whose upcoming film Haider is set to clash with superstar Hrithik Roshan's Bang Bang on October 2, feels that both the films can sustain together because they cater to different audiences

"I saw the promo of Bang Bang and I loved it and I will definitely go and see the film. I wished good luck to Hrithik. It is a five-day weekend, the five-day holiday period is coming after a long time and I think any big holiday weekend is good enough for two films to sustain. Two big films can release (together), there is no problem," Shahid said in an interview.

While Vishal Bharadwaj's Haider is a desi adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, starring Shahid, Tabu, Irrfan Khan, Kay Kay Menon and Shraddha Kapoor, Bang Bang, directed by Siddharth Raj Anand, is a remake of the hit Hollywood movie Knight and Day, with Hrithik and Katrina Kaif in the lead.

"I think if Haider is black then Bang Bang is white. What Haider is offering you that Bang Bangcan't offer and vice versa. We are confident about our film. Our film is not very expensive so we have nothing to lose. So getting a five-day weekend is fantastic for a film like ours," Shahid said.

The actor feels that both the films are of different genres and will cater to audiences with different tastes. "I don't think there is going to be any confusion for people. If people want to see something edgy, different and out-of-the-box then they will see Haider and if people want to see something entertaining, fun and a potboiler then they will see Bang Bang. Had there been two similar kinds of films then it would be a different scenario but that is not the case ere," he added. It is obvious that both the films will vie for good box office result as their trailers have already got a thumps up from the audience and both Shahid and Hrithik have a huge fan following.

Apart from Haider, Shahid, 33, seems all excited about Shandaar, a film by Vikas Bahl. "It is drastically different from Haider. I am very excited to do it. I saw Queen six months before it got released. Vikas and I have been talking about doing a film for long time. He told me a one line about this film -destination wedding and I thought it was a wonderful idea," Shahid said.

For Shandaar, Shahid will be teaming up with Alia Bhatt for the first time. "We are shooting in UK for this film. It has Alia and me and there will be an interesting announcement about the film soon and I am excited about it. I am happy to be working with Alia. Suddenly, I am working with these young girls. She (Alia) is fantastic," Shahid said.

In Haider, Shahid will be also seen romancing a younger actress Shraddha Kapoor.

"Newcomers know a lot more about films than we did, before they start their journey in the industry. I think you learn from them, they are very talented. I think it is great time to be around," Shahid said.

"There is opportunity for everyone. Today the options available for actors are lot more. With more and more newcomers coming in, it has become lot more competitive and it is good as you have to do your best," he said.

well I want both to see. But bang bang has strong grip. I wish. Both films do well.

Shahid Kapoor feels he has matured a lot after doing a film like Haider. The movie is releasing October 2.

After featuring in the commercial potboiler "R...Rajkumar", Shahid Kapoor is ready to surprise audiences with his intense act in "Haider". He says the past few months have helped him "mature a lot".

Haider, a film by Vishal Bhardwaj, who last directed Shahid in the 2009 movie "Kaminey", is a desi take on William Shakespeare's "Hamlet".

Asked if there's a steady sense of confidence with "Haider" unlike when "R...Rajkumar" was to release, Shahid said: "'R...Rajkumar' was something very different, a totally different zone for me. I have worked with Vishal sir before also, so it's a different feeling with 'Haider'. I feel I have matured a lot in the last few months."

His double role in "Kaminey" was hugely appreciated, and Shahid Kapoor, who has already grabbed eyeballs with his looks in "Haider", says somehow whatever he does with the filmmaker, works out well.

"Somehow, whatever we try to do together, it has worked. It's not easy to do that. It's so difficult to achieve it everytime that you have to credit a little bit of it to luck.

"I feel content that I did this film ('Haider') because there are certain films that you do depending on whether it will do well or not, and then there are those you do because as an actor, you want to feel enriched and you want to have an experience, which will help you to grow.

"This ('Haider') is that film."

Releasing Oct 2, the movie also features Tabu and Shraddha Kapoor.

Hrithik and Shahid clash, I'll support Shahid on this one since Hrithik annoys me a little more.

I hope Haider does good in the Box Office!

Both can do well without any problem Haider will not affected but will gain from the holidays but BB will lose the records chance because of the low number of screen but Hrithik and shahid deserve abig respect becuuse they dont go for the dirty way and hrithik didnt use his power to effect haider infact UTV is the playing it dirty and has adeal to get more screen because of PK and kick > if its all about which film you prefere haider will not get much screen any way if these two films are good then hope they will do well😉
