Shahid Kapoor - Predictions for 2013

Shahid Kapoor pulls a No Show at the awards

Shahid Kapoor has been a constant fixture at award ceremonies over the last few years. He’s either been involved as a host, or thanks to his exceptional dancing skills, has put up a performance at least. But this year, for the first time, Shahid will stay away from the shows completely, thanks to a

packed shooting schedule.

A source close to the actor reveals, “Shahid is a great dancer, which is why every year, he puts up at least one act during an awards ceremony. But this year, he’s going to be shooting back to back for two movies — Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Phata Poster Nikla Hero (also starring Ileana D’Cruz) and Prabhudheva’s Rambo Rajkumar (along with Sonakshi Sinha). He’s been juggling two hectic schedules for the last few months, which is why he wasn’t even able to take time off on New Year’s Eve.”

The source says that Shahid was approached by several show organisers. “Awards show organisers wanted him to fly abroad, to host or perform. They approached him to put up tribute acts in honour of the great personalities we lost last year. But this year, he has consciously stayed away from public performances,” the source adds. It seems that Shahid has been shooting every single day for the last few months, and he didn’t want the rhythm to break. Agreeing to a show performance also means taking time out to rehearse, which was something Shahid didn’t apparently want to do.

The source also adds that Shahid’s fans have been sending him messages on social networking sites saying they are missing his performances. We tried contacting Shahid, but he remained unavailable for a comment.

Shahid Kapoor's charisma is unbeatable

Shahid Kapoor may be doing fewer films but his charisma is unbeatable. The actor, who is currently shooting for the Rajkumar Santoshi film Phata Poster Nikla Hero with Ileana D’Cruz, took time off for a motor oil brand endorsement tour in various cities. All Shahid had to do was to meet mechanics. But on the actor’s insistence, this turned out to be much more interactive. The result was the actor dancing to Mithun Chakraborty’s numbers in Kolkata with the mechanics! We hear that when word spread about Shahid’s dance, the next batch of mechanics were ready to shake to his Kaminey song ‘Dhan Te Nan!’ While he did that, he even arm-wrestled with one of them.

Khula Shutter, Nikla Shahid

Crowds on the busy streets of Mumbai Central were in for a pleasant surpriserecently when they realised that actor Shahid Kapoor was shooting in the bylanes there. But while the shoot promised thrilling moments for Shahid’s fans, the idea of shooting at a real location, and that too a crowded one, had kept the cast and crew on edge for several days.

A source reveals that the filmmakers were keen to shoot their film Phata Poster Nikla Hero at real locations around the city to keep the real flavour on reel. Just last week, Shahid had to shoot an intense scene in a crowded market area. And insiders reveal that shooting in the crowded bylanes of the place put forth several challenges.

“Even though the film makers managed to get permission from the authorities, the crowd was extremely difficult to handle and execution was becoming a hassle. Apart from keeping the crowds at bay, we realized that the lanes were too narrow to park Shahid’s vanity van,” reveals a member from the production unit of the Rajkumar Santoshi film.

“We were skeptical about it, but when we told Shahid about it, he was very sporting and simply asked us to make whatever temporary arrangements we could on the location. So, a local Udipi restaurant was finalized to double up as Shahid’s changing room and he offered to travel to the location nearby on a bike. Instead of throwing tantrums on the non-availability of a van, Shahid simply had the eating joint’s shutters pulled down while he changed,” says the source. Meanwhile, the crowds, who knew that some shooting was to commence, had no idea who was at the location.

“But the moment the restaurant’s shutters opened, and they saw Shahid step out, the crowds simply multiplied and soon the entire area was buzzing with excitement. We were worried because Shahid’s scene was an intense,emotionally charged one and with the distractions around, we were prepared to shoot for at least eight to ten hours,” adds the insider.

But Shahid surprised them when despite the commotion around, he managed to deliver all his scenes in a single take. “Santoshi is a stickler for perfection, and Shahid himself is very critical about his work. The shot was a long one and needed a degree of expertise to deliver the perfect emotion. But he gave a perfect shot in one take. And he kept doing that with every shot, so what was actually to take eight hours, was wrapped up in two hours’ time. The crew was amazed at his focus and preparation and unanimously stood up to give him a standing ovation. In fact, he even got an ovation from the crowds, who had actually quietened down as they were engrossed in watching Shahid perform,” says the crew member.

Shahid Kapoor goes back in time

They say it’s never too late to explore one’s own country’s backyard, and Shahid Kapoor did just that while shooting for his film in Karnataka. The actor took off to do his own sightseeing in and around Mysore. Sources say that Sasha was so enamored with Ramgarh fort that he spent hours visiting the historic spot. “Many films too have been shot at the location including Sholay. It was four hours away from where Shahid was shooting. 

After he packed up, he decided to go on the trip with his crew-members ” A source present at the scene says, “Shahid is really curious about finding out more about old Hindi films. That’s why he wanted to visit the site. It was a long journey but he didn't seem to mind.”

"Shahid is a professional actor" - Santoshi

MUMBAI: Bollywood filmmaker Raj Kumar Santoshi’s career is back on an even keel, thanks to the Shahid Kapoor-Ileana d’Cruz starrer ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’ (PPNH) which he is currently shooting in Mumbai.

Santoshi confesses to having a ball shooting with Shahid and Ileana. Santoshi thwarts all talk of ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’ (PPNH) being a sequel to his 2009 rom-com ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’.

“This is in no way related to my earlier film. PPNH is a far more emotional film. I’d say the comic and serious content are equally balanced.”

Shahid, we are told, is hands-on in the project. “He doesn’t only come on the sets, do his job professionally and go away. He is there constantly adding to the drama and the comedy. This is the first time I’m working with Shahid. I will work with him again very shortly. As for Ileana, she is a revelation. Such a focused and generous artiste. All my three main actors Shahid, Ileana  and Padmini Kolhapure are new to my cinema. But I feel as though I’ve worked with them many times.”

The prolific director who has not directed a film for three years, has also revived his most ambitious project ‘Power’ which was shelved in 2011.

The slick actioner featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt was slated to be the biggest project of the year 2011. While Anil Kapoor had promised to bring the action directors of his serial 24 to do his stunts in ‘Power’, the Big B was all set to do his own stunts in the film.

All in good time, as they say. The ambitious actioner which was aborted due to a steep budget, is back on the track.

Santoshi will begin shooting ‘Power’ as soon as he’s done with PPNH.

Confirming these developments  the director says, “Yes, my producer Feroze Nadiadwala and I are reviving that project. The practical problems which I don’t want to go into, are sorted. As soon as I am done with the current project we will start work on  that film. ‘Power’ would be my biggest film ever.”

Try to crack a joke at his expense, he will beat you to the punchline. Shahid Kapoor’s one helluva smart boy. He thinks on his feet, his moves off screen will always be a mystery. He's been linked to Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu, Nargis Fakhri and many more. But he deflects all my attempts to stymy him with the moves of a grandmaster. In short, you can't pin Shahid Kapoor down. Easily, one of the most gifted actors of his generation, Kunal Kohli's Teri Meri Kahaani could be his breakthrough film. Mysteriously, for all his talent, his career hasn't zoomed skywards as it ideally should have. Ah! The vampires of showbiz. His entourage of managers guards him like hawks but unmindful of the crowd in the room, I pose him one query after another. Excerpts...

Q. How was it working with Priyanka Chopra again?

Whenever PC and I work together it’s always fun. And I’m sure it’ll reflect in the film.

Q. You worked with Priyanka after a reported breakup. Would you also work with Kareena who you were involved with at one point?

I’ve never said no to working with her. I don’t know if she’ll be comfortable though. I can only speak for myself.

Q. So what have you been up to with so much free time on hand?

(Smiles) Celebrating my birthday in Goa!

Q. Tell us a little about your Goa bash.

Well, there were 30 of us and we had a three-day pool party. It was a blast. People ate when they felt like, slept when they felt like, went to the beach if they felt like, went into the pool, lazed around… Basically they were a few of my closest friends and we just had fun.

Q. Many stories filtered in about Nargis Fakhri and you.

Of course, there would be stories. I’m an actor, she’s an actress.

Q. So what exactly happened there?

Nothing. She came along with a lot of her friends and everybody had fun.

Q. Reports said Nargis Fakhri had shifted into your apartment.

(Laughs) I heard even her mother had shifted into my apartment! No, seriously, I hardly know Nargis. We’ve met four or five times. We have a common friend and that’s why she came for the party. People talk too much. Nargis is not even a buddy, she’s an acquaintance. It’s absurd to say we’re anything more than that. She has been to my house not more than twice with 10-12 people when I’ve had a get-together at home. There’s no reason for people to go on and on about it. It’s annoying!

Q. Would you marry a woman who belonged to the film industry?

I don’t know. I have no idea when I will get married. Industry, non industry… God knows! When I fall head over heels in love with a girl, I will tie her to my side and never let her go. Whoever she might be wherever she might be, I don’t care. As far as there’s truth and there’s trust.

Q. Ranbir Kapoor and you have been bonding a lot recently.

We kept bumping into each other, like at an award function. So we hung around and got chatting. Once in a while we catch up. We both like fast cars. He’s young and really chilled out. I’m comfortable with him. There is no awkwardness. It’s nice to hang around with people your age.

Shanatic of the Month (April) - Kannupriya & Ishita

We are back with the Interview of our 'Shanatic of the Month' (April) contest winners. We decided not to have the SOTM in May as we had selected two winners in April and that was a fair decision.

Our SOTM winners (April) had to wait longer than the others to see their Interview on the blog, as our team was extremely busy with other commitments. But now, the wait is over! Here's presenting our two winners, Kannupriya Gumber and Ishita Agarwal, who spoke to our Team Shahid's World representative, about Shahid Kapoor, the man we all love.

                                                                                                                                                 

           'Shanatics of the Month' (April) L to R: Kannupriya Gumber & Ishita Agarwal          

SW: Hello girls! Congratulations on winning the SOTM contest in April! I know you both are truly happy about winning this title. So tell us, Which movie did you officially realise that you like Shahid?

Kannupriya: Jab we met. It's the first movie of Shahid Kapoor which I liked. I seen this film so many times. That's when I realised that I am in love with this man. That's when my Shanatic blood cells generated!

Ishita: I started liking Shahid after his first release Ishq Vishk. But, I wasn't crazy about him that time. It was only later that I realised, slowly and gradually, that I have started to like him and now, I've turned a Shanatic!

SW: Impressive! We all love swaying on SK songs. Plus, it's a treat watching him dance. So, which song of Shahid Kapoor is your ultimate favorite Dance number?

Kannupriya: I love all all the songs of his movies. But my favorite dance number is Sajh Dajh ke, Mukhtasar, Humse pyaar karle tu, Mauja Hi Mauja etc Sorry for ending up naming so many songs, but it's difficult to select one!

Ishita: I think all dancing numbers from his films are awesome, but I love Mauja hi Mauja and Aai Pappi. I just cannot stop grooving on these numbers. Also, they are lucky for me as I won 3 dance competitions where I had performed on these tracks.

SW: Well, we go through the same dilemma! So tell us about your all time favorite Shahid film and the reason you like that film?

Kannupriya: Wow! Such difficult questions. Well, as I am a Shanatic, I love all his films. But, Jab we met, Mausam, Vivaah etc are some films that are close to my heart.

Ishita: Undoubtedly Jab we met! I loved Aditya Kashyap in that movie. It's one of the most romantic films ever made.

SW: Wow, these questions are the easiest you will find girls! So, if you ever got a chance to meet Shahid, what would you gift him?

Kannupriya: Uffff!! I am eagerly waiting for that golden moment in my life, when I can meet him.

I would love to gift him a set of all time favourite music cd's, old and new. Also, a new Blackberry, just so that we can exchange our BB pins *just kidding*  Also, some fresh Brazilian coffee beans!

Ishita: I would give him his portrait, sketched by me!

SW: Finally, any message for Shahid?

Kannupriya: Dear Shahid, You are my inspiration because you have inspired me a lot. You made me believe that impossible is nothing! You are not just a star, but a SUPERSTAR. A real human being, born with a golden heart. Thank you so much for everything Shahid!

Ishita: Shahid, You are my Idol & Inspiration. Be the wonderful person that you are. Wishing you the most happy, healthy and successful life. I will be your Shanatic forever.

Also, I want to thank Shahid's World from the bottom of my heart. Keep it up *Muaaaaaaaaah*

SW: Thank you so much girls! It was great chatting with both of you. Congrats again and Take care!
