Shahid says he has matured a lot in the past few months
Highlights
- After featuring in the commercial potboiler R...Rajkumar, Shahid Kapoor is ready to surprise audiences with his intense act in Haider. He says the past few months have helped him "mature a lot".
- Haider, a film by Vishal Bhardwaj, who last directed Shahid in the 2009 movie Kaminey, is a desi take on William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
- When asked if he had a steady sense of confidence with Haider unlike when R...Rajkumar was to release, Shahid said, "R...Rajkumar was something very different, a totally different zone for me. I have worked with Vishal sir before also, so it's a different feeling with Haider. I feel I have matured a lot in the last few months."
- His double role in Kaminey was hugely appreciated, and Shahid, who has already grabbed eyeballs with his look in Haider, says somehow whatever he does with the filmmaker, works out well.
- "Somehow, whatever we try to do together, it has worked. It's not easy to do that. It's so difficult to achieve it everytime that you have to credit a little bit of it to luck.
- "I feel content that I did this film (Haider) because there are certain films that you do depending on whether it will do well or not, and then there are those you do because as an actor, you want to feel enriched and you want to have an experience, which will help you to grow.
- "This (Haider) is that film."
- Haider, which is releasing on October 2, also features Tabu and Shraddha Kapoor.
