Shahid Kapoor praises Alia Bhatt

Bollywood chocolate boy Shahid Kapoor has received critical appreciation for his last film Haider. The actor is at present shooting for ‘Udta Punjab’. Prior to that he had been shooting with Alia Bhatt for ‘Shaandar’. He seems to have matured a lot these past years, and now feels the need to go slow on Career front, he wants to do only meaningful films now.

Shahid Kapoor said, “There was a time when I used to feel like I could go from one film to another. But over the last couple of years, I’ve started to realise that I don’t think I an do that anymore. Maybe a certainset of actors can, but I can’t immediately make the switch.”

Shahid further added that, “In the beginning, when we started working on the film, nobody gave us the budget for it because Vikas had written an expensive film. It had to be shot in Europe and artistes had to be flown from India. Plus back then, neither Haider, nor Alia’s 2014 films or Vikas’s Queen (2013) had released. Basically, hum sab ‘okay type’ ke log they. Last year was amazing for Vikas. Everyone felt that Queen was the best film of the year. For Alia, it was an absolutely outstanding year. She has really come into her own. And then Haider happened, and it’s been a great film for me as an actor. So, we’ve been bumping into each other at awards functions and it feels amazing.”

Alia must be over the moon to hear praise from her idol.
