Shahid Kapoor: I have said no to big films

Shahid Kapoor is currently enjoying the best phase of his life, as he recently became a father to a baby girl.

On the professional front as well Shahid seems to be just as content. In an interaction with a daily, Sasha insisted that he’s “happy” in the professional space he is in, and admitted that “choosing the right content is tricky.”

“People who associate themselves with good content, and have the courage to back quality stuff, are going to be successful,” he said. The actor added that even if someone has created “bad content”, but is willing to “work hard” to turn that into a good product, such people also have the ability to become successful in the industry. “Whether they are actors, directors or producers, such people will try and create good content over and over again, and gain the confidence of the audience. Your intent has to reflect in your choices. Safe choices are not always safe,” he said.

In fact, Shahid admitted that he has, in the past, turned down many big-ticket films, as he wasn’t convinced about them. “I have said no to big films. Having said that, there are many film-makers, who I would love to work with. I have noticed that I have always performed well when I have worked with a credible filmmaker. I would love to work with the right minds, and with the right people,” said the ‘Kaminey’ actor before signing off.

Shahid’s ‘Rangoon’  will release next year. Rangoon will be the third time that Shahid will be working with his favourite director, Vishal Bharadwaj. Shahid is also said to be working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in his next, ‘Padmavati’ alongside Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone.
