Shahid went on to add, “I wish I had that side. Aisa nahi hota hai (it never happens). Honestly, I sometimes wish I could do it, everyone wants to be rich but it’s really tough. I would not be able to act for money, kuch aur kar bhi lu shayad (would rather do something else). I am just too passionate about it. Also, it’s all about feeling, you may not always have a 10/10 situation and it can be even around 6 or 7. But to work with 4/10 only for money is like beimaani (injustice) towards my craft. I cannot be dishonest.”

Bloody Daddy trailer was unveiled by the makers last month. It received a good response from the fans. Shahid shared the trailer on his Instagram and wrote in the caption, “One hell of a BLOODY night… Trailer out now #BloodyDaddy, Watch #BloodyDaddyOnJioCinema, streaming free on 9^th June!”
