Shahid Kapoor: 'My character has verbal diarrhoea'.

As his list of versatility grows, Shahid
Kapoor will next be seen in another out
of the box character in Shree Narayan
Singh's Batti Gul Meter Chalu'. Having
caught up with the media recently, the
actor explained a little bit about what to
expect from his role.
"It is diametrically opposite to what I
played in Padmaavat' (2017). Sushil
Kumar Pant, my character, has verbal
diarrhea. He is completely immoral and
has no values, DNA India reports Kapoor
stating.
The film addresses the social issues that
reflect rural places in India, where the
people are known to steal electricity.
Having shot in Uttarakhand's Tehri
Garhwal district where these things are
in actual fact a reality, Kapoor added,
"There are many such issues that people
face in those areas and we have
addressed these in the film.
Speaking about his career now, in
comparison to how it was when he first
started, the actor expressed he did find
it difficult at first to shake off the
chocolate bot stereotype that everyone
saw him in. "I have always tried to get
good and versatile roles. I wanted to
show my versatility. But nobody used to
offer me such scripts. They used to think
that I am only suitable for chocolate boy
and college student roles. There were no
other options, he said.
He went on to express, "It's been 15
years since I have been working in the
industry and after much hard work, now
I am being offered diverse roles. It's
been a long journey and I have made a
lot of effort. Today, I feel very fortunate
that people also think of me as an actor
who plays a variety of characters.
Set to release this weekend, Batti Gul
Meter Chalu' also stars Shraddha Kapoor,
Divyendu Sharma, and Yami Gautam.
