\"'I Shahid Kapoor<\/a> started his journey into films with Ishq Vishk and since then he has gone on to deliver films like ‘Vivah’, ‘Jab We Met’, ‘Kabir Singh<\/a>‘ , ‘Teri Baaton Mein Uljha Jiya’ and many more. He will now be seen in Home Adajania\u2019s’ Cocktail 2′ with Kriti Sanon<\/a> and Rashmika Mandanna. Looking at his evolution during his conversation with Raj Shamani he said, \u201cAfter a film becomes a superhit, every actor lines up to work with that director, and that\u2019s normal. But when I started out, I always wanted someone to believe in my talent before I had found success. Filmmakers like Imtiaz Ali, who has since become an iconic name in Indian cinema, gave me an amazing opportunity with ‘Jab We Met’. Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who made ‘Kabir Singh’, is another example. When I watched ‘Arjun Reddy’, I absolutely loved it. I do wish we could have done something original together, but at that time, the film was set to be remade, and that\u2019s how I ended up seeing it and agreeing to do it. Sandeep was open to making it as a remake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shahid Kapoor on signing ‘Ishq Vishk’<\/p>\n

\u201cMany times,\u201d Shahid continued, \u201cwe\u2019ve ( Sandeep and him) discussed how it might have been more liberating and creatively fulfilling to work on an original story together. The energies of collaborators and creators should match, and when that happens, something amazing comes out. It was a privilege to work with him. Look at the kind of work he\u2019s doing\u2014he\u2019s an iconic filmmaker. Sure, some may view him as controversial, but he\u2019s making cinema that people love. The Hindi audience discovered him with Kabir Singh\u201d he added. Shahid also stated , \u201cI will always support new talent because that\u2019s how I got my first break. Someone gave me a chance, not because I was anybody\u2019s son or connected to someone influential. When I signed ‘Ishq Vishk’, I didn\u2019t even tell my father. I told him about it only after signing the film. I didn\u2019t live with my dad back then, and nobody knew who I was.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shahid Kapoor started his journey into films with Ishq Vishk and since then he has gone on to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102103,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[74574,156,74573,32645,74575,74572,26780,409,111,139,69,30284,29001,26779],"class_list":{"0":"post-102102","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-arjun-reddy","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-home-adajania","11":"tag-imtiaz-ali","12":"tag-ishq-vishk","13":"tag-kabir-singh","14":"tag-kriti-sanon","15":"tag-movies","16":"tag-new-zealand","17":"tag-newzealand","18":"tag-nz","19":"tag-rashmika-mandanna","20":"tag-sandeep-reddy-vanga","21":"tag-shahid-kapoor"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102102\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102103"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
