Shahid Kapoor, in the career span of 14
years has entertained the audience with a
variety of roles. From being a chocolate boy
to playing an intense role on the big screen,
Shahid has done it all!
During an interaction with a leading daily,
when the talented actor was asked about
his change in the criteria of his films, Shahid
stated, "I've never really been able to judge
it. But yes, I think about fewer things now
when I do a film. I don't think about 500
things. I try to keep it simple. I just follow my
heart now. Earlier, I used to think about too
many things."
He was also quizzed about venturing into
direction or producing a film, to which
Shahid replied, "I find every aspect of
filmmaking fascinating. I am curious. But my
focus is on acting and won't change for a
while. Once you are an actor or a star, a
change in orientation would mean taking
time off and doing something else. I don't
know if a star can afford to do that. You
should be ready to shut shop maybe."
The handsome hunk further said, "It is
about changing your stream of work. People
think acting and directing, same hee toh hai
(it's the same). You have to stop acting to
make a movie. If you stop acting, who says
that it will start again. To give you an
example: If I want to make a film in India,
and if I go for recce, there will be so many
people (gathered) that I will be more of a
distraction. So there are so many practical
things you have to think about when you
shift from being an actor to anybody else.
Once you are an actor, you are probably a
liability on others if you choose to do
anything else. Just because you are an actor
and a star, people will handle you as a
liability. Yeh aata hai toh yeh problems hoti
hai, but woh star hai toh chalo handle kar
lete hai."
Shahid concluded by saying, "My main
reason is to focus on acting and get this
(acting) to where I think I need to get it to.
It's not there yet; still, a long way to go."
