Shahid Kapoor on Post Kabir Singh experience. Actor Shahid Kapoor revealed that since his 2019 blockbuster Kabir Singh, he has yet to come across an 'exciting' script. Despite listening to an average of ten scripts a month, Shahid emphasized that love stories are the most challenging genre to navigate.
Speaking at the trailer launch event for his upcoming film, Shahid shared, "I've been missing doing something light and fun, but honestly, it is the most difficult genre to crack. I listen to ten scripts a month. People don't know that, but there is so much to hear. I know people tell me, ‘Aur picture karo (Do more films)’ but it is so difficult to find scripts that you feel will offer the audience something new. Love stories are the most difficult genre to do."
Reflecting on his journey post-Kabir Singh, Shahid explained, "When I did Kabir Singh, the character was new for me, the entire journey, the way the entire relationship was, it was shocking but it was new. Post that, I didn't hear anything that exciting... Then this film (came) and I was like, 'This is it. We have to tell a love story that hasn't been told before. Will people like it or not, will they accept it or not, that's the journey you have to take as an artist and as a creative person.”
Shahid's next venture is the romantic comedy Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, co-starring Kriti Sanon. Described as an "impossible love story," the film is written and directed by first-time filmmakers Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah. Produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, the movie features Shahid as a man who falls in love and decides to marry a robot named Sifra, played by Kriti. Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, also starring Dharmendra and Dimple Kapadia in pivotal roles, is set to hit theaters on February 9.
