Kissing on screen isn't an issue: Shahid

Actor Shahid Kapur's been missing in action but he will have four releases in 2009 including. Vishal Bharadwaj's Kameene where he will be turning on the heat courtesy an on screen kiss with co-star Priyanka Chopra. He spoke to CNN IBN about all that and much more.


We haven't seen much of Shahid Kapoor for a while.

Shahid Kapur: Well i have been working a lot, last year was a little slow for me. this year I have four releases and you will see more of me.

CNN-IBN: There is a lot of buzz that about you and Priyanaka Chopra doing a kissing scene in your next release.

Shahid Kapur: You know, I have always heard that the lesser you talk about the movie, the more curious the people are. So I will keep quiet.

How comfortable are you as an actor doing intimate scenes or kissing scenes.

Shahid Kapur: It's very individual. Depends upon the actor, as far as it is aesthetically done and comfortably done its not a problem at all.

You are doing a movie with your dad is what we hear?

Shahid Kapur: Yes, it is a huge moment for me- after 30 years of acting he has finally stepped into a director's shoes and its wonderful to be directed him. I have been pesturing him for three years now and he finally agreed to make a movie.

Akshay, SRK, Aamir, who is your pick?

Shahid Kapur: I think Aamir is my inspiration. I have learnt from him that do whatever you feel is right do not listen to others and he has been successful at it. So I have a great admiration for him.
