Shahid Kapoor

One of the most talented actors of the current lot, Shahid Kapoor recently bagged the Best Actor Award at IIFA Awards for his splendid act in ‘Udta Punjab’. The actor, who will be next seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’, saw a dull response to his last movie, ‘Rangoon’.

Speaking about the box office failure of ‘Rangoon’, Shahid said to a daily, “When a film doesn’t do the kind of business or get the appreciation it should get, its heartbreaking. I was fortunate that people liked me in ‘Rangoon’… Regardless of anything people have liked my work in his films. I was happy I got recognised. But I am sure when we work together again we will do something great. ‘Rangoon’ as a film had many energies and many people. I can’t take ownership of the film. I am happy my part was appreciated but I am sad for the film not doing well.” (Also Read: Here’s the naughtiest thing Shahid Kapoor has ever done!)
