Mumbai: Shahid Kapoor has never shied away from taking risks, be it opting for intense roles or doing multi-starrer projects, and the actor says what defines his success story are the “smart choices” he made over the years.
In the past, Shahid has worked in multi-starrers such as “Udta Punjab”, “Rangoon” and most recently “Padmaavat” alongside Ranveer Singh. The actor said it is difficult to find a film which justifies the presence of more than one male lead, and hence, audience does not get to see movies with multiple leads anymore.
“There are very few films, written today, which are worthy of two big actors. When someone has the ability to write content of some quality, then actors will do it. How many ‘Padmaavat’s are being made? “Even ‘Udta Punjab’ had a spectacular script and it came from nowhere and suddenly it had a huge cast. Of course, it took one year to cast the film,” Shahid said. Shahid said when filmmakers come up with films with various characters which are not uni-dimensional “only a stupid actor will say no” to them.
