“I don’t like heights”: Shahid Kapur
30 May 2007 | Actors | No Comments
It's been quite a while since his last release. In the interim period, Kapur didn't go on a signing spree. He has been weighing all his options and opting for projects that shall take him forward. After almost a year he is ready with a big commercial film having a big star-cast…Fool N Final. "It's a fun film. It's a no brainer. It's not a heavy film. It's not gonna burden you down. After watching this film you'll have a smile on your face. It's a fun roller coaster ride. And that's the USP of the film," Shahid says with a smile. …
The promos of Fool N Final are already creating waves. It's not the typical Himesh Reshammiya brand of music but yet, the songs are getting noticed. And Shahid seems to be the mainstay. And with choreographer Ahmed Khan turning director, the dance sequences are worth club hopping. So, why don't you tell us something about what you are doing in the film? "My character is called Raja. He is a thief who does stray robberies here and there and how finally he gets engrossed in this chase for this one big diamond. There is lots of action in the film. There's no bloodshed, no gruesome scenes, it's all glamourised. It's all action that is eye pleasing, lots of stuff like jumping off the 16th floor of a building and stuff like that," Shahid said.
There's a lot of talk about that breathtaking bicycle twirl that you've done. "It was first for me. I don't like heights so it was different for me. The director (Ahmed Khan) is a dear friend so I trusted him completely. Allan Amin is somebody I've worked with many times as an action director. He is as safe as it gets while doing stunts." After Spiderman, it's time for Superman. That Superman get-up is gaining attention. "It's a film for all kinds of audiences. The director felt that we should be having something for children and he thought that the children love superheroes so he thought that if we can dress up like superheroes and try to save the world, and end up making fool of ourselves. It's a comic sequence," Shahid said. …
Finally, what are you doing next? "There's a film with Kareena, a love story directed by Imtiaz Ali. There's a romantic comedy with Vidya Balan, directed by Aziz Mirza. And there's a film by Bela Sehgal, produced by Sanjay Bhansali." ….read more
