Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, in the career time of 14
years has amused the viewers with a range of roles. From being a chocolate boy
to essaying an intense role on the big screen, Shahid has done it all!
During a communication with a tabloid, when Shahid was
questioned about his change in the criteria of his movies, Shahid specified,
"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 questioned about venturing into direction or
producing a movie, to which Shahid responded, "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."
Shahid further revealed, "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 ended conversation by telling, "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."
