Shahid Kapoor: I am the hero of a Bhansali

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat has finally managed to release after going through many hurdles. Shahid Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone's performances in the film have been immensely appreciated.

Shahid Kapoor opened up about being a part of a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film and said, "10 years down the line, when I have a library of films, having my films worth sharing with my family, my children, Padmaavat will be there. I am the hero of a Bhansali film, the numbers are going nuts, all is good. Rest is history. One line here, one article there, someone's making an opinion, someone's biting into your insecurity is not going to draw you back. This was Shahid's first collaboration with Bhansali.

When asked about working in Padmaavat which is a two-hero film, he said, "There are very few films, written today, which are worthy of two big actors. When someone has the ability to write content of some quality, then actors will do it. How many Padmaavats are being made? Even Udta Punjab had a spectacular script and it came from nowhere and suddenly it had a huge cast. Of course, it took one year to cast the film. Diljit (Dosanjh) is a very big star in Punjab.

"Who says that an actor can't do two-hero film? You are asking the wrong person because I did it. Actors on Padmaavat did it. I think smart choices make a great career, he added.
