Shahid Kapur goes places

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,August 31 2004]

"Fida" couldn't catapult Shahid Kapur to a higher plane of stardom than his last year's "Ishq Vishq", but director Anant Mahadevan is hugely upbeat about the hot young actor who has acted in his film "Dil Maange More".

Actor-turned director Mahadevan's film features Shahid with the up and coming Soha Ali Khan. Mahadevan has just returned after shooting in virgin locales of Malaysia. "The places we shot in, the visuals which we've captured, are so different from what we generally get to see of Malaysia in other films. And Shahid is rocking."

Shahid is equally impressed by "Dil Maange More" and its director and has given Mahadevan bulk dates to complete and release the film by November. Incidentally, "Yeh dil maange more" is the catchphrase from an ad that Shahid did many years ago with Shah Rukh and Kajol. How time flies!
